Question #120 for conversation: Did you see that C-5M Super Galaxy? Do you monitor the aviation band?
(If interested in submitting a weekly question, email n5zkf@arrl.net)
Bill Rose (K5WTR)
- Didn’t get to see the C-5, but heard it fly over my house!
- Looks like it’s going so slow, but that’s because it’s so big!
- Top Gun: Maverick is on Prime Video for free if anyone’s interested
- Very fun movie!
Matthew Barry (KG5LYE)
- Got to see it up close from the airport!
- was not in the air at the same time, though
- wake turbulence behind that thing would be very dangerous!
- I usually try to monitor air frequencies while I’m in the plane :-P
- Have air band receive capabilities in my mobile rig and like to listen in while on the go or get the weather on my way to the airport
Ray Wallace (NM5L)
- In town visiting
- Impressed with the net
- Sounds like you have a great club here!
