There's actually a cup waiting, has been since the twenties or thirties, for the first ham to contact mars. I guess it was mostly a joke, on the other hand back then Mars wsa big in the news, all those canals. And radio was still developing, going for greater and greater distances, so why not set ones sights on another planet? I'm not sure of the exact rules, though. Michael |

Herman Munster didn't contact Martians on Mars, but Martians in a spaceship near Earth. From 2011: "Amateur radio enthusiasts using a restored dish antenna in Germany say they have successfully picked up telemetry from NASA's Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft, now outward bound for Mars [...]" http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/11...osity_signals/ And 2014: "James Miller, G3RUH, was among a small handful of Amateur Radio operators to receive the X band signal January 21 from the European Space Agencys Rosetta spacecraft, some 500 million miles from Earth. Miller used the 20 meter dish at the Bochum Amateur Radio facility in Germany, run by AMSAT-DL and IUZ Bochum Observatory. In an AMSAT-BB post, Miller noted the frequency at the spacecraft was 8421.786900 MHz, and the signal was 14 dB below that of the STEREO A/B spacecraft. Perhaps more astonishing, Bertrand Pinel, F5PL, was able to track Rosetta 65 kilometers from Toulouse using his home-rigged 3.5 meter dish and receiver. Viljo Allik, ES5PC, a member of Estonian Student Satellite Program team reported his group was able to detect the satellites signal using a slightly smaller dish." http://www.arrl.org/news/radio-amate...rom-deep-space http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/01...etta-tracking/ |

Otherwise, it would be an SWL contest. There was talk, and it actually seemed to have some substance, of sending a amateur radio package to the moon on one of the later manned flights. Someone found empty space in the lunar crawler, so they were working on a repeater to fit in there. The guy died, so the project died, but it looked like they actually had some encouragement from NASA. Some hams wanted to put amateur radio into Skylab and effort was put into that, but it was denied, I can't remember the reasons. Michael |
