NACA's ECHO 1 TV Satellite

<< < (4/4)

W2DU:
Thanks everyone for the nice responses--I'm pleased that you found the story of interest.

I must tell you that it was a heady time for me, too, not knowing at the time that everything was going to work as planned, because those things had never been done before.

This is interesting since Rockwell Collins had an Echo I site in NE Cedar Rapids Iowa called, "Echo Hill," now in Marion, Iowa.

There is now a new school on the site by the same name.

This is where Rockwell did RF reflections and communications experiments mainly for the benefit of the SAC.

Interestingly, there is a ham that has a house about 300 meters from the site.
