to create a satellite tracking station, to investigate the
space probe explanation for long-delayed echoes in the first

committee had four members, and at a crucial moment, when we

them were transferred out of Scotland by their employers -
one of them taking his transceiver with him. Another
transceiver was acquired, but it wasn't compatible with the
power pack already built for the first one. July. Duncan

suspended; SPECTRUM founded as new London society. The
ironies of this were not lost on us. Oct. By now it had become
clear that our application to become a company was in

Fortunately they couldn't agree. 1976
