Listen for amateur radio station W4A, a special event station, operating on Amateur Radio Satellites and HF bands this weekend commemorating after 50 years of the landing of the "Eagle" and six hours later man walked on the moon.
We will be operating inside the park from the US Space and Rocket Center grounds at Huntsville, Alabama. You never know who will be at the microphone at the satellite station as there will be several dignitaries onsite from the Apollo and Space Shuttle programs. This is an opportunity that does not happen often.
