[suws-g3kmi] Saying HI to Juno Spacecraft

[crump p.d. (pdc1g09)]

Hi All,

So NASA have this spacecraft doing a fly-by of Earth this evening, and to test it's equipment, they'd like Radio Amateurs to say 'HI' in slow morse to it, on the 10m band.

>From 1800 UTC (1900 BST) they will be co-ordinating the key-up and key-down with a webpage, here: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/hijuno/

So... we have a decent HF rig, a morse key, I've got a dipole and we have a 1KW linear, what are we waiting for? If people want to come along and help set up/tap out the morse, reply to this email so I know how many to expect, we'll do it from Graeme's house, at 2 Primrose Road in the Flowers Estate, I'll be setting stuff up from about 6pm so we can get the SWR properly matched.
