        T. Wayne,

        That was pretty good. For anyone wondering, here is some more info from the YouTube page: “This documentary was produced by students in the School of Journalism and the School of Visual & Media Arts at the University of Montana. It was presented by Montana PBS on November 24, 2022.”  They had a cool clip of the first ham to make contact with a space shuttle.  That the ham was in Montana is probably why the University of Montana used it.  LOL

        I initially had some problems getting it to load and play in Firefox, but it worked great in Google Chrome. Thanks for the post!
