Frank played
a considerable role in the preflight briefings and the determination
of the track to be followed.
Because he is also an amateur radio operator he had a good understanding
of the issues on the ATV flights and therefore we came to a correct
solution of the encountered problems.
The
first year Frank also added a significant value in the creation of
the ( PA3GJE ) website. His profession is creating and building websites.
Later on he advised me ( very efficient ) when I was still learning
about HTML, CSS, JavaScript and more.
Before
this all Frank was already active with packet radio and did interesting
things with it ( such as connecting the packet radio robot on board
the space shuttles ). We had a lot of fine ( packet ) QSO.
