On April 12th I marked the 50th anniversary of the first human in space and the 30th anniversary of STS-1 by making some satellite contacts on AO-51 and an HF contact with R3K - a special event station from ARC Energia in Korolev, Russia (Russian Mission Control Center.) It's nice to dust off my arrow satellite antenna and make some new satellite contacts now that the weather is slowly getting warmer.
