This was done by Montana PBS. I know (have worked) some of these guys. I
worked Lance, W7GJ, then WA1JXN, on 2-meter EME in 1982 and have his QSL seen
near the end of the video. He was the first to contact Owen W5LFL, in the space
shuttle. I heard that exchange but when I went to transmit, not having a relay
sequencer with the multi-mode transceiver needed for FM, I blew the
tower-mounted GaAs FET preamp. I had to climb the tower and put in a JFET
preamp and worked him on the next pass. Lance's signal report was so-so. Mine
was "You're the loudest signal heard in the spacecraft."
