AMSAT News Service Bulletin 151.05 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. May 30, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-151.05
There were plans to use HAM radio and APRS to track the once-a-century
transit of Venus coming up next week on 8 June.
http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/VenusTransit.html
I have not received much feedback of anyone else planning on making
observations or participating in the HF and satellite nets that were
proposed. I thought this would be a great PR event for HAM radio becasue
it is the FIRST EVER occurrence of this event in Human history when we have
the miracle of Radio to compare observations from around the globe in real
time.
If you will be doing something on HAM radio for this event, lets coordinate
activities. Such as what HF net frequencies should we use? I will try to
coordinate APRS applications on my WEB page above.
[ANS thanks Bob, WB4APR for the above information]
