I got nothing. i think my antennas not good enough

[GOOSE]

enjoyed all that. Thanks for your company ladies and gents.

Picked up something on the frequency, nothing legible - mainly gaps in the static.

I got a brief breakthrough on 259.7 but nothing I could make sense of.

Excellent proof of the merits of a good antenna I'm on a Moonraker "desktop discone" with an amp

Looking forward to any comms other FC folks have recorded!

Thanks Gary for starting this thread (the radio talk was a bit more understandable in this thread, compared to the Milair section.)

Sorry Tom - I dont think that is this is this evening - look at the timeline. Dont even think its the Shuttle (the external tank separation would not be visible from the UK) - stand to be corrected though!

Great comms NW - Nothing at all from just outside Newbury (or maybe I need to climb in the loft and throw the antenna out of the window!). Anybody else get anything from the South apart from Spirit of Kitty Hawk - Dragon51?

cheers and thanks for the posts - a good evening!

Oh Dan...it's OK.. my brain transplant is booked

Hadn't realised @VirtualAstro on Twitter was republishing old material...

No wonder I was impressed! Duh!
