Current Goal

SPUTNIX 1 was the 1st artificial satellite launched by the Soviet Union on 4 Oct 1957, during the International Geophysical Year.  It travelled at 29,000km (18,000 mph), taking 96.2 minutes to complete a full orbit of the Earth.  It emitted radio signals at 20.005 and 40.002MHz which were monitored by amateur radio operators throughout the world.  These signals continued for 22 days until the transmitter batteries ran out on 26 Oct 1957.  SPUTNIX 1 burned up on 4 Jan 1958 as it fell from orbit, re-entering the Earth's atmosphere - after travelling 60 million km (37 million miles) and spending 3 months in orbit!

This satellite TB (SPUTNIX 1) would like to move from cache to cache, whilst making notes on what type of radio stations cachers listen to......

Found it in "Ist das Kunst oder kann das weg?" and took it with me. Let's visit some more caches :)

Btw: I'd like to listen to "Info Radio", which is mostly news, and "Star FM" which plays rock music.
