What does NASA have to do with Commercial Aviation and Aeronautical Mobile Contacts ?

 

Con Nagy will lead a discussion of his activities and answer your questions about operating an aeronautical Mobile from the cockpit of a Boeing 737.

​

Why does the 737 have an HF radio?

​

                                  What kind of radio am I operating?

​

                                                                                     Do I mind if you spot me?

​

​           Why did I suddenly tune up/down on the frequency?

​

                                                What bands/frequencies do I usually operate on?

 

Con has provided aeronautical mobile contacts to thousands of Amateur Radio operators over the past few years. He will expound on his experiences regarding making QSOs from 30,000 feet and share some of the insights he’s learned about these unique contacts. If you’ve ever wondered about the equipment’s history, capabilities, limitations, or just want some practical advice on helping you to successfully log an aeronautical mobile contact in the future, please join us for this exciting evening.​
