It was sort of an unwanted task handed \noff on me.  But I took it serious and devised a record system to keep \ntrack of when they were recorded and so they would be retained for \nthe required time period.  These were backups as the prime data had \nbeen transmitted to the mission scientist.  These were held a minimum \nof 30-days in case of any bad data in the originals.  I started \nstacking them in an unused office but in time they ended up in the \nclimate-controlled \"basement\" of the 64m DSS-14 Control \nBuilding.  They ended up being kept much longer than 30-days.  I'm \nguessing these reel tapes were made by the same recorder as mentioned \nin the article.  Isn't it fantastic that the old Lunar tapes were \nrecoverable!  2009 will be my 30th anniversary of leaving Jet \nPropulsion Lab to move to Alaska...tempis fugit!\n\nThe, then new, Hydrogen Maser Master Clock was installed in this same \nroom.  It was used for precise timing of VLBI experiments, which \npreviously required calibration by the famous \"flying clock\" or the \nx-band Moon Bounce timing system (ask Dick, K6HIJ).  Not only \nGoldstone, but Madrid, and Canberra stations required to be on the \nsame accurate time (ask Tom Clark about that).\n\nAs the New Year approaches we reflect on the past.  Thanks to those \nwho recently found those articles.\n\nMerry Christmas and Happy New year!\n73, Ed Cole - KL7UW (& Janet) \n\n\n\n",
