A few years ago the spacecraft JUNO made a fly by of Earth for gravity 
assist to get to Jupiter

JPL wanted to test the sensitivity of one of the radio instruments on 
board and organized Amateur Radio operators around the world to send HI 
in Morse code as the spacecraft passed us.

This web link shows the Earth/Moon system in motion as Juno passed by 
and links to videos of the Morse code test results..... (I prefer the 4 
minute video)

How many from OFARC participated in the test?  (I did)


Enjoy
