While the ubiquitous ball-point pen is used for making notes
in ham "logs," the precise frequencies noted down are kept
accurate by the PLL or DDS in modern amateur transceivers.

Nope.

The precise frequencies are "kept" by the station licensee who
ensures that his or her station is kept in good operating order.

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.

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"...???

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.
