Lunar Legacy

The City of Flagstaff and Lowell Observatory are celebrating their 
 year long Lunar Legacy event. The idea is to promote Flagstaff's
scientific role in the Apollo Moon Missions!

50 years ago, this year, NASA landed men on the moon and Flagstaff had
a scientific role in that, as every Astronaut that walked on the moon
trained in Flagstaff and the surrounding area. 

 

The NADXA radio association is sponsoring a special event radio stations for
the celebration of the events that took place around Flagstaff in
preperation for the moon landing.  We will be working most bands as
propagation permits.  Check the internet spotting sites for exact
frequencies.
