Martian TV in Your Living Room Costs About 700 Dollars
Des Moines readers can watch Mars pictures from the Viking lander at home for about $700 using a discarded TV, a tape recorder, a converter, and a ham radio setup. Bob Walton, 59, a retired printing foreman and ham, describes striking volcano images and the Martian moon and notes about 25 qualified hams receive the photos. The system relies on NASA and off duty Jet Propulsion Laboratory staff to relay images via amateur radio on the 20 meter band.
