Almost each day of the past week was somehow affected by radio activity. The antennas were mainly facing the sky and we followed the International Space Station. We could talk with Charles Simonyi, who quoted from famous Hungarian literature even twice.

Still last summer, when we restored the cabling, we took some photos of the antenna assets used for reception. These pictures can be seen in the Gallery. All in all, we can confidently say that all radio contacts were highly successful with Simonyi. Let us express our deep thanks to the organizers and to everyone who helped to perform everything so seamlessly. Next week we will fully focus on the satellite and its electronics. As for Charles, we wish him a successful landing.

73. “Over”.
