Radio
Bob Bruninga (Satellite Lab, US Naval Academy) writes: "This will be the first Venus Transit in history since Marconi discovered Radio and the first time ever that real-time observations can be exchanged via that medium (compared to sailing ship!). We plan on organizing HAM radio operators around the world to communicate live via amateur radio on their observations of the Venus Transit. We have a web page:
If you are aware of any other such on-the-air communications events, please let us know, or tell others about us. Since this is the FIRST transit in all of history since Marconi discovered radio, it will be the FIRST time that distant obwservations can be shared in real time. We plan on emphasizing this instant communications via radio as our niche in this historic event."
Leo Andrews (Channel 27) writes: "Next Tuesday from 0700-0900 GMT, Channel 27 - a high-quality web based radio station will be broadcasting coverage of the Venus Transit. The show will feature commentary and discussion, together with packaged features about the Venus Transit. The show is very much live and will be broadcast from a custom Outside Broadcast facility in London, UK. It's set to be a remarkable spectacle so we hope you and your visitors will be able to listen in whilst the transit is happening. For more information, visit:
and on the day, the link to the live stream (which is free to access) will be posted."
