Quindar Tone Samples ?
Anyone got a source for .wav or .mp3 versions of the quindar tones ?
I'm looking for a pure(ish) sample, rather than having to cut it out of the examples at http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi.../quindar2.html IIRC, Gary Neff had a push, pull, and pushpull sample that he created on his website (http://home.pacifier.com/~garyn/), but that site seems to have gone off air. Does anyone have copies of them ? I tried google, and searching the waybackwhen.org machine, but with no real luck If anyone's got them, I'd sure appreciate a copy, or url to download them from.

It apparently uses a Java applet; with mine it appeared, disappeared, then reappeared ready to go. I'm using netscape 7. Now I know the raw excitement of all three Quindar tones! I'd never heard of these by name before; I take it these were the beeps heard during the astronaut's communications with Earth. Pat |

This happens both in Mozilla and IE. Somebody designs a flash-based web page in Windows and of course it all ends in tears... Aha! Java as well as JavaScript. Nothing personal to Adam, but this page has every single potentially-most-annoying-and-dangerous feature a Web page could have...except, of course none of it's annoying or dangerous, except perhaps for the recording of Pete Conrad reading Gordon Cooper's poetry (dangerous, that is). Still, I didn't think there'd be any problem opening the page in OSX if it was designed under Windoze. So, aaaa-aanyway...I've finally downloaded my coveted pure, clean, noise-free "push quindar". Still, some weird thoughts... ....Am I the only one here who's somehow underwhelmed by the clean, fresh, pure, noise-free quindar tones? I think part of the excitement of those little pings was knowing that some of them were being transmitted from a quarter-million miles out by the first humans on the Moon, so the clean, pure, "original" version -- devoid of any background hiss or crackling or other long-distance xmission noise -- seems robbed of its excitement. So, anyway, I don't think it's just the _tone_ that's the thing, here, it's the context we heard them in, "flavored" or "colored" by the noise of radio xmissions from humans reading Genesis from the Moon, or announcing the first human footsteps on the Moon, or waxing poetic or singing for the first time on the Moon. (On my G4 I have an .sfil of a quindar tone xmitted during Apollo 11 approach/landing comms which I clipped from a NASA TV rebroadcast of the epic NASA PAO documentary on Apollo 11 during the NASA TV All-Night Movies*. I have it clipped right up tight at the beginning, so there's no noise ahead of the "attack", so when there's any system event that sounds a tone, the tone pings in very nicely.) *Yeah -- when the wife's job sends her out of town, I put myself to sleep with the NASA TV All-Night PAO Reel Marathon -- no, not the Video File, but those good old hard-boiled 60s/early 70s PAO documentaries. Sad, huh? -- ..
