WB6ACU's latest album, "Analog Man." Might that become "Analog Congress Man"? |
Is Joe Walsh
running for Congress? The iconic guitarist for the Eagles, who also goes by
WB6CAU, recently told a Washington, DC radio station that he's thinking about
it. According to Newsline, Walsh said he thinks he can represent the
concerns of real people better than politicians who live in a different world.
We'll leave that determination to the voters when, if and where he decides to
run.
Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, is returning to AMSAT (AMSAT photo) |
Frank Bauer, KA3HDO,
is back at AMSAT as the amateur satellite organization's Vice President for
Human Spaceflight Programs. Frank held down that volunteer position for many
years before his work responsibilities at NASA forced him to step down in 2009.
The AMSAT News Service reports that Bauer retired from the space agency last
year and, now that a one-year period in which he was prohibited from working
with his former colleagues has passed, he has returned to his volunteer role
with AMSAT. He has been a key player in the growth and success of the Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program, as well as SAREX
(Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment) in the past.
