Looking back at the Apollo 11 landing radio transmissions

Submitted by admin on Sun, 2019/07/14 - 12:04

Were you around 50 years ago for the historic landing of Apollo 11 on the moon?

Radio communications played a vital role in the mission. When seconds count and the station you are talking to is a couple hundred thousand miles away, the importance of the "ABC's" of radio comms become clear - Accuracy, Brevity and Clarity. The mission used ground-breaking voice and data communications methods that many radio amateurs use today. (By the way, the radios used on Apollo were supplied by Collins!)

You are correct if you thought April 2019 was rather gloomy. April 2019 was cooler and wetter than the 30-year average (1981-2010). A number of stations were in the top 4 for wettest April and it was the first time in many years that we did not reach 20˚C in the month of April.
