Morse code on the surface of the planet Mars - 2012/08/09 15:27 Hello all!

It was special to follow on the news the landing of Curiosity on the planet Mars.

But this little martian rover has something very special for us amateur radio operators.

When rolling on the surface of the red planet, Curiosity will leave behind it the letters "JPL" in morse code.

You can guess that some of the engineers that designed the rover are HAM radio operators.

That's cool!

Re:Morse code on the surface of the planet Mars - 2012/08/19 12:51 Hello Richard

Glad to hear from you.

When I see a project using an Arduino I can't help myself but think about your great rotor projects.
