What a great idea hope i can make contact,i grew up with my Father working at KSC in Florida and can still remember watching the landing on the moon and those famous words.

 

Did you guys ever get on the air? I listened and looked on the DX clusters both days and never saw or heard you. Lots of IOTA contest guys on freq though.
