Apollo 11 25th Anniversary Amateur Radio Special Event Station Activity

At 1627 EDT, Sunday afternoon, July 20, 1969, astronaut Neil A. Armstrong
spoke the words "Houston, Tranquility Base here.  The Eagle has landed."
At 2256 EDT, later the same day,  Armstrong stepped down from the ladder
of the Lunar Module onto the Moon's surface and spoke the words, "That's
one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

To commemorate that historic event twenty-five years ago next week, amateur
radio clubs and groups at NASA Headquarters and the various NASA field
centers will be on the air as "Special Event Stations", contacting amateur 
radio operators around the world.

Amateur Radio clubs or groups from twelve NASA locations are currently
preparing for the 60-hour special event operating period from their
respective facilities.  Ham groups from other NASA locations may also be
on-line to participate by the time the special event period arrives.  This
is the first time so many NASA stations will be represented on the air at
one time.  Contacts with these stations during the special event period
will be confirmed on request with a certificate to commemorate man's first
steps on the Moon and the special event activity.
