For 10 days the Space Shuttle Columbia streaked through the skies, and for the last 7 of those days, hams around the world were sent emotionally into orbit when they heard Dr. Garriott's voice break their squelches calling Earth-bound stations. But it was just the beginning. Amateur Radio had moved into its newest frontier, and it was there to stay.
