    OK, I did it, but was NASA really listening or were they shut down by the gov.? Their website was up, so that was a good sign I guess.

    Yeah, you do have to wonder. I'd like to think that they would have made note of it on the Web page but it's entirely possible that there was no one around to do even that.

    Anyone else in your area participating? I heard one other person on my frequency.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I was on 28.145 MHz and heard one guy transmit his call sign (I think) after I was done. Phew that is all the Morse Code I can handle.

    I think it was my fault. I sent "init 1".

    Sigh. I really wanted to try this. No time for ham radio schedules. :(

    Even had a sound file all prepared so I could launch it remotely from work, but we had a problem, Houston.

    Had to stay late at work for a big project, couldn't get away for the few minutes needed to launch it all.

    I did get on 20 and 75 meters at sunset for a couple of hours and enjoyed some ragchewing.

    Better yell a little louder, I don't think there was anybody at Houston to hear you!
