I wonder if they calculated the distance to the moon correctly? Well, Brian, Jimmie done took the post bus out of Monmouth often enough, could see the big bedspring radar antennas at The Labs (there were 3 laboratory installations along the highway). I'm sure he has contributed his Oral History recording for the archives as have all the veterans of Project Diana. [hand salute!] Maybe he forgot to mention the First Ham in Space! According to tonight's Jeopardy program clues, Ham the Chimp was the first "American" in space. :-) Oook, oook! |

I wonder if they calculated the distance to the moon correctly? Brian, they didn't have to calculate anything. Having taken and passed the U.S. amateur radio license code test, they knew intrinsically all about the Space Business and pioneering of the radio arts. [Hams had invented astronomy, you see...] Legend has it that when J.P. was Serving His Country teaching the poor ignorant children of Redbank all about mort's code, he would jog along the highway leading to Fort Monmouth. He might have given the GIs on the post bus the one-finger salute but he could smile to himself as he passed Coles, Evans, and Squier Laboratories...hams were busy inside keeping our country safe, serving the Signal Corps with the very best CW equipment there could be. Those hams KNEW all about the planetary positions given out in daily bulletins from W1AW. Without hams we could only fish around and beef... Did dit |
