Doubts on the choice of antenna

Sun, 18 May 2008 08:20:16 -0400

Hello everyone.
Like many people, I do not know the possibility of using motorized antennas in elevation.
Able to use only antennas with vertical polarization must now update my system antennas.
At the time of MIR I used with satisfaction antenna type DISCONE, but the fact of working with a large band penalizes lot yield and introduces unwanted disturbances.
I replaced the DISCONA with a V2000 I found that the signals for high angles of reception have deteriorated.
With its faults the DISCONE was better for this type of use.
Now I do not have any antenna, as well as for HF, and I think about how to implement the part for the V / UHF.

DOES WA3NAN STILL RE TRANSMIT AUDIO FROM SHUTTLE MISSIONS?

Thu, 7 Feb 2008 19:03:24 -0500

The title sums up the question

I went to their homepage http://garc.gsfc.nasa.gov/

and check the faqs and frequencies used to retransmit, but it doesnt look like it's been updated in a while. it says " The next Space Shuttle mission is planned to be STS-120, Discovery. Launch is targeted for October 23, 2007." ---- LOL

so just curious if they still do retansmissions or not anymore.

thanks ---

Walter Cunningham, former Apollo 7 astronaut will be visiting fans and signing autographs at the Galleria Mall in Houston

Thu, 11 Oct 2007 14:04:55 -0400

In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of space travel and his recent edgy Op-Ed article published in the Houston Chronicle, former Apollo 7 Astronaut, Walter Cunningham, will be visiting and autographing copies of his audio book, ‘The All-American Boys’, on October 13, 2007 from 2pm-4pm. The signing will be held at the FYE store located inside the Galleria Mall in Houston, TX. As added entertainment, Mr. Cunningham will also perform a live reading of excerpts from the audio book.

 Touted as “the best of all the astronaut books” by the Los Angeles Times, ‘The All-American Boys’ is a no-holds-barred candid memoir journaling astronauts in all their strengths and weaknesses. It includes an insider’s view of the pervasive “astropolitics” and thoughtful discussion of the Columbia tragedy. ‘The All-American Boys’ resonates with Cunningham’s passion for humanity’s destiny in space which endures today. This audio book is narrated by Walter Cunningham himself.

Back form a Tour of KSC

Sat, 30 Jun 2007 22:00:26 -0400

I just got back from a week trip to Palm Bay Florida and while there we went to the Kennedy Space Center and took a tour.
Anyone that gets the chance take this tour!!! What a great time we had. Got to go on a shuttle launch sim. Watch alot of films on the space shuttles and the I.S.S. some even in 3d. Toured the place where they are making modules for the I.S.S. to be delivered. Got a few good pics of the shuttle and both launch pads. My son got a collectors coil of Apollo 11. I also took pics Buzz Aldrin, Alan Sheaperd, Neil Armstrong and all crew members of Apollo 1. Took pics of the mars land rover and one of the Apollo rockets.
