Sputnik day

This has been on many times.

I am not sure if this still occurs, but in 2011 a group of us built a 15m CW TX using the same type of valve used in the first Sputnik satellite in 1957. 

One of the group G4NUA is now a SK. The rig was built by G4ALB and I was chief operator!

Within minutes we had a good QSO with a station in the USA.
