Sputnik 54 years later amateur radio celebration 21.060 MHz

On 4 Oct 2011 amateur radio operators fired up transmitters built with Sputnik valves, like those used aboard the Sputnik satellite that circled the earth 54 years ago. Low power transmitters were heard on 21.060 MHz sending CW and beacons were active to celebrate the 54th anniversary of Sputnik.
