Allen, KB8MTZ
My name is Allen. I live in
Cleveland, Ohio. My hobbies are electronics, computers, amateur radio, tracking
satellites and spending time with my family. My ham radio call is KB8MTZ. I enjoy fixing, operating and restoring
old tube radio equipment. I also like building AM high power transmitters.
I work at NASA's Glenn
Research Center in Cleveland Ohio. I work with the ATS-3 Communications
Satellite. The satellite was launched from NASA's Cape Kennedy on November 5th,
1967 on top of an Atlas-Agena D launch vehicle. The satellite carried with it
nine major experiments. Key experiments included the Multicolor Spin Scan Cloud
Camera which provided the first full disk photos of
Earth . It also provided the first satellite to
aircraft communications over the Atlantic Ocean. In the summer of 1997, I
traveled with Astronaut Chuck Brady and installed a satellite ground station at
Tern Island Hawaii.
