Many thanks to all who have contributed to the Sputnik-1 celebrations today.
My PC (active while I was at work) will submit a SWL report across the pond for a certificate of the AO-51 "expression" this morning - although my .wav fie was running fast for some strange reason. This is a timeshifted swl report. Thanks.
Thanks also to Rob G8ATE for the contact on GB5OSO just now. Despite the best efforts of Midland Mainline, who cancelled my train and delayed the one half an hour later by 10 mins (how do you explain the prpblem to customer service?) I made a breathless contact with GB5OSO on SO50 at my TCA. Breathless because of the hill on the way home as well as the excitement.
G0SFJ will support the National Space Centre ARS GB2NSC on Saturday and Sunday with operation on the birds /QRP/P with an Arrow, and with a private exhibition of Sputnik 1 memorabilia, largely radio oriented, as you might expect. I'll also have a unique CD of recordings from various sputniks and vostoks made by Roy Rippin 50 years ago, he is an SWL in our local Radio club, Welland Valley ARS. And of course I'll demo my Sputnik-1 TLE's **LIVE**(less 50 years).
Many thanks to all. And Happy 50th Birthday, Sputnik-1.
