I am surprised in an occurrence which I don't thought to be. I watch it calmly to a pass of afternoon today and think about correspondence by a command if there is not a change.

Jamesburg Earth Station article in Aviation Week
by Margaret Leber 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

"A chance reading of a "for sale" advertisement in a weekly newspaper has launched a group of 30 space history buffs on a mission to save the 30-meter Jamesburg AT&T/Comsat satellite dish about an hour from Monterey, Calif. The dish was built in 1968 to support the Apollo 11 moon landing a year later. Besides its commercial duties, it also played a role in capturing and distributing images of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, says Pat Barthelow [AA6EG,] an avionics technician from Sacramento who first noticed the ad in the Carmel (Calif.) Pine Cone and quickly put out the word."
