[amsat-bb] online article of interest

An article of interest about tracking satellites and spacecraft from Gainesville, FL in the 1960's: http://www.gatorradio.org/Archives/UF_Student_Satellite_Tracking_Station_196 4-65.pdf

From Sven Grahn in Sweden: <<Wonderful that people track satellites in

Gainesville. As you can understand from Dick's story I have been to Gainesville. In fact it turned out to be several times and we tracked satellites almost every time. The big adventure was Apollo-17, of course, but hearing cosmonauts talk from Salyut-5 as it swept past Florida and seeing the space station simultaneously from Dick's driveway was another great experience (this was in 1976). >>
