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.
