Actually, the grapefruit was Vanguard 1, so called by Nikita Khruschev I believe. It's the only one of the 5 Vanguard payloads and rockets that I haven't seen yet. I think it broadcast at a much higher frequency. The Sputniks used 20 and 40 MHz. Sputnik was much larger than Vanguard. -- Jay Respler -- JRespler@superlink.net Sky Views: http://njsurf.com/skyviews/ Satellite Tracker * Early Typewriter Collector Freehold, New Jersey
