That unfortunate physics thing gets in your way though. How would you
build a stage large enough to film it on that could pumped down to a
hard vacuum?
There is no credible evidence that it was faked, and lots of credible
evidence that it would have been impossible to fake.

Hi Andy,
I see it's running quite high power, 1 watt output, when in Data Mode.
Would I be right in thinking the Data Mode will only be activated when it's in
range of Texas ? Presumably the 200 mw 437.325 MHz 200 mw beacon will be
available the rest of the time ?

Have just received AO-51 speeches and photo - photo on my website

Or did I? That is the epistomological question. How do you know?
Fundamentally you have to trust in life to get along in it.

These are very important questions. I think it is also
important that we have a shared understanding of the answers,
rather than private opinions.
I suggest that the researcher also approach the ARRL for an
opinion. My suspicion is that AMSAT and the ARRL will provide
conservative (and unofficial) answers to these questions. It
is much safer to say "no, that's prohibited" than "yes".
In my view, this may be a question that we want to approach
the FCC with. I suspect that, if the question is properly
framed, the FCC might be more inclined to find this acceptable
than either AMSAT or the ARRL.

Hi all,
A perfect evening here in Wales ( UK ) for the pass - No wind or rain
and not to hot.
I copied the audio and SSTV just using my Kenwood THD7 and Arrow antenna
with excellent satisfaction.
Thanks to all involved in the project and arrangements it really made my
day.
And thanks also for the " New One" Hi!

[snip]
LeRoy,
I'm not sure how you can have a source other than NASA, other than two hams
who made independant recordings of Apollo transmissions. In 1971 (summer
issue) a QST article talks of Dick Knadle(sp?) KRIW who got some, and another
ham, I believe W4HHK received signals as well.
I'd also bet the Russian space agency has stuff.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but if you have questions about any
"fakery" of moon landings, find the Myth Busters TV show. They did a *really*
good job of debunking several myths about how things were faked.
I do not find this discussion OT for Amsat-bb, because this affects us. It
erodes the effort of tens of thousands of technical people, and has ripple
effects for the USA, far beyond the original topic.

Hi All,
Yes a great signal from AO51 this evening on an almost overhead pass. As
well as the message it was interesting to hear the bursts of repetitive QRM
on the L band uplink. From previous ATV experience I could instantly
identify it as coming from one or more of the "en route" aeronautical high
power radars that we share the band with over here.
Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved in organising the event!
