On Six Degrees of Francis Bacon on the History Channel just now, I learned that pressure suits were originally invented for working in vacuum chambers on vacuum tubes. For radios.

The signals seem to be getting stronger. There have been quite a few reports of partial reception and the start of some of the SSTV images. Far to weak for me to receive sadly, so I just have to download recordings from AJ3U (http://www.aj3u.com/) and pretend.

The last theory I read was that the batteries were cold and as they have warmed up the transmitter is sending out a stronger signal.
