[amsat-bb] Happy birthday, Mr. Yagi

[J. Boyd (JR2TTS)]

Just pointing out that today is the 130th birthday of Hidetsugu Yagi,
co-inventor of the Yagi-Uda antenna. 2016 is the 90th anniversary of the
antenna's patent being granted, a technology which revolutionized radio
communication and played a large part in making our endeavors as amateur
radio operators more global in scope. It's also one of the main reasons
we're all able to work satellites.

Google Japan (http://www.google.co.jp/) has made it today's Google
doodle:

For some reason I felt very excited about this, as if we all got on the
news :)
