I wanted to hear it in the worst way...but the only receiver available to me then was a BC-348 and that only went to 18 Mc/s. I started to build a 15 meter converter, but Sputnik stopped transmitting before I could gather all the parts and finish the converter... :-( |

I remember watching Sputnik,it looked like a little silvery shiny ball
up there,you could see it with the naked eye.My dad owned some fairly powerfull binoculars and I used to get a better view of Sputnik.Sputnik caused America to get in a bigger hurry about the race to Space. cuhulin |
