BSRG means Big Shanty Repeater
Group. Located just Northwest of Atlanta, GA (Deep in the
Heart of Dixie!!), the BSRG is the most progressive Ham Radio
group that we know of. Find out for yourself!
The BSRG always retransmits the NASA Space
Shuttle mission audio non-stop throughout each mission. We've
been doing this since 1990. Our Shuttle audio transmissions (as
well as the video feed the Atlanta Amateur Television Group
provides) are a memorial to Tim Mallory, AI4B. Tim and Ralph
(N4NEQ) had an idea years ago to provide this service to the
Amateur community. Now we proudly present it
as a tribute to Tim and his love of radio!
Other Important Home Pages that we host:
The Atlanta APRS Network, with
info about APRS and its uses.
For Amateur Television information in the Atlanta area, its
the Atlanta Amateur Television Group.
The Atlanta Balloonatics
are a group of Ham Radio Operators who like to send radio and TV
transmitters up to the edge of space on helium balloons. Visit
our Home Page here (lots of pictures and other info).
Our FTP area has lots of files: APRS, GPS, Balloon
Stuff and more.
BSRG welcomes Space Shuttle Audio listeners. We're glad you
listen to our 24 hour Shuttle retransmissions. If you'd like to
help support the Group that makes this possible, then click above
