This day (10/4) in 1957 the first satellite was put in orbit by the
Russians. Many of us remember it! The rest is history.

Bob,
I remember it. Was in Jr. HS and the Science Teacher
explained the whole concept of it to our class and I
was awed by how it could just stay up there and not
fall down.
Now, we just take satellites for granted. We think nothing
of picking up a handheld XCVR and talking to folks halfway
across the country through one of them hurtling through
the sky above. WOW!!
73, Bob K8BL

My school classmate Mark, now WB6MMG, and I listened to Sputnik beep on
a SW radio (can't remember what the radio model was).
As noted on Wiki: "News reports at the time pointed out that "anyone
possessing a short wave receiver can hear the new Russian earth
satellite as it hurtles over this area of the globe". Directions,
provided by the American Radio Relay League
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Radio_Relay_League> were to
"Tune in 20 megacycles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hertz> sharply, by
the time signals, given on that frequency."
Sputnik's orbits were often visible at night during it's short life span.

I have a recording of the original Sputnik as recorded by William
Magnusson, VK3JT, in Melbourne, Australia on Oct 06, 1957 using an
Eddystone Model 680X and a Dipole on 15m. The frequency was 20.001 Mc/s.

I think that being born at the "dawn of the space age" (1956) has a lot
to do with why I am so unstable and keep messing with satellites!

Well said Bob K8BL.
While the why and how they stay up there IS amazing, I continue to be
totally in awe by how we can communicate with/thru them from so far and with
a hand-held/qrp, almost full quieting !!

Yay! I?m glad my two daughters and I will get to participate on it. As an
