Here’s this week’s Ham Radio in the News:
Strong signal: At 89, former NASA worker still coming through loud and clear. 89-year-old Anna Folsom passes her Extra Class exam. Unfortunately, the report says, “Folsom doesn’t really use the radio…She’s only chimed in once, when the radio club asked for a roll call. For her, the Extra Class License exam was a way ‘to see if I could still think.'” C’mon, guys, get this lady on the air.
Retransmission dates back to Apollo 11 days. For more than 30 years, this group of amateur radio operators, calling themselves Launch Information Service and Amateur Television System, have been relaying the NASA Mission Control audio, making it accessible to anyone with a radio.
