In November of 1974, I escorted a Mr. Oscar Seven (that was the name on his airline ticket) to California where he took a ONE WATT wideband frequency translator and installed it place 912 miles above the surface of the earth.

There's a place in California that's 912 miles above the surface of the earth?
OSCAR = Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio.. The seventh in the series... There are today many satellites carrying Amateur Radio frequency translators, Digi peaters, telementary units and even one with a microphone and video camera attached that sends live Audio/video orbiting the earth (We call that one the International Space Station) I got it right off.. Never talked to Oscar though, Do not (yet) have the proper antennas for the job.. Will fix that some day, easy to build antennas.
