Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Wilbur, who writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I thought you may be interested in this. A few years back the same group posted Apollo 13 realtime audio. I listened to for days. It was during lockdown for Covid-19 so I had lots of time at home to keep it on.<\/p>\n

It really renewed my love of radio.<\/p>\n

I missed the Launch, as I just found it here at 2:00 local EST. But I will be monitoring for the next few days.<\/p>\n

This the Big one, so it will be interesting to hear.<\/p>\n
