Nope. The precise frequencies are "kept" by the station licensee who ensures that his or her station is kept in good operating order. the rigs do that the operator may or may not be checking thier work but the rigs do it It is additionally noted that Leonard H Anderson had nothing to do with the creation for the aforementioned PLL or DDS that he's attempting to brag on. so? NASA has a rather large PR department, adjacent to a large "technology licensing" department, all of which is intended to help support NASA operations' budgets. Their PR is on a higher level than the ARRL's PR, but both tend to generate a considerable number of MYTHS in their respective areas. NASA pays people to write "MYTHS"...??? sure does most Govt agnecies do of course for the sack of PC they call it PR For an example of cross-pollination of myths, the "space amateur radio" carried on by space station and (previous) shuttle astronauts is done almost entirely by no-code-test Technician class licensed astronauts. It is part of their overall task assignment (every astronaut must adhere to NASA PR rules) and relatively minor in relation to all that they must do. Contrary to the fantasy of some, astronauts did not become hams first, THEN astronauts. Some of them certainly do. Witness Owen Garriot, W5LFL. The FIRST Amateur-Astronaut to operate from the Space Shuttle. I know that facts aren't your forte, Lennie...Sorry to bust your rant. Steve, K4YZ |
