... People could, and this was described in back issues of CQ Magazine, the radio amateur publication. It took a substantial investment in equipment, such as a parabolic dish antenna at least several meters in diameter, as well as technical knowledge of where to point it in the sky. how 'bout "directly at the moon"? -- Terrell Miller "It's one thing to burn down the **** house and another thing entirely to install plumbing" -PJ O'Rourke |

Probably good enough for the lunar-orbit phase, but not right for the time spent in transit outbound and homebound. The Moon moves quite quickly and Apollo generally *wasn't* in line with it during the in-transit periods. -- MOST launched 30 June; science observations running | Henry Spencer since Oct; first surprises seen; papers pending. | |

Wasn't the DSE dump sometimes used to get private messages to
the ground e.g. Borman's medical condition during Apollo 8? All mission transcripts as pdf's from the NASA CD-ROM are available at insideKSC at http://24.73.239.154:8081/DOCS/mt/1/Start.html They also contain transcripts from the DSE. Harald |
