Greetings:

 

 

The Ocean – Monmouth Amateur Radio Club would like to inform your club that on the 9th and 10th of January 2016 we will be celebrating the 70 Anniversary of Project Diana.  

 

           It was on January 10th 1946 that the First successful Radar Echo Location of the Moon (also referred to as EME or Earth – Moon - Earth) took place. And it is widely regarded as the first shot fired in what was to become known as the Space Race.  Our plan is to have our Club Facility open for visitors and we will be on the HF bands. As it stands now, there is a very good chance that we will also be doing an EME transmission on Sunday the 10th. We are now in the process of installing the needed equipment in the TLM-18 Space Sentry Antenna. Which is located at our facility.  We will be posting more information on QRC.com and Eham.com as we get closer to the actual date. If any of your club members would like to attend and help us celebrate this Historic event, Please contact me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Jeff Harshman, N2LXM
