I would be very grateful if anyone could offer a recording of this morning's 8:31 am pass of Richard Garriott's transmissions over the Gulf of Mexico (1331 UTC).
I clearly recall listening to his father as he passed over in the Shuttle in the early 80's. I was parked then along the Cane River, in Natchitoches, La. Rig: Kenwood 7400A, Auto: Old Bonneville...leaky trunk....mobile whip. Today it was my pickup truck, 706mkIIG, and $4 worth of WA5VJB 4 ele beam on a pole in a stake box. Expensive rotator...
Back to pediatrics...
Best Regards to all.
