On October 9, thousands of amateurs said “HI to Juno. Now, there are stories about the event on websites all over. I think the best is this video produced by NASA:
AMSAT-UK also ran a story about Say HI to Juno. I like this story because it includes a waterfall display of the 10m band showing all the signals.
Physics.Org ran the story, “Juno spacecraft hears amateur radio operators say ‘Hi.'” This story features a photo of a smiling Tony Rogers, the president of the University of Iowa ham radio club, as he mans the equipment used to send the message to the Juno spacecraft.
Yours truly with a cameo right at the start. Even got my CW call playing in the opening title. Only 14 minutes of fame left…. :-)
