Signal Moon: A Short Story

Product Information

In the early days amateur EME stations needed huge antenna systems, very high power transmitters and complex receiving set-ups. Today EME operation is within reach of most amateurs with a reasonable VHF station capability and enables long distance VHF/Microwave QSOs between many countries across the globe. The team, some of whom were licensed radio amateurs, consisted of Jan van Muijlwijk (CAMRAS); Tammo Jan Dijkema (CAMRAS); Thomas Telkamp (Lacuna Space), and Frank Zeppenfeldt (ESA). To achieve the transmission, the team used the Dwingeloo radio telescope, operated by the CAMRAS foundation in the Netherlands. The radio telescope has a history of being used in amateur radio experiments and is now often used for Moon bounces. This leads to a story of two people communicating across time. Of course, they don’t want to initially believe it’s possible, but how else can they explain everything? The question is whether Matt can find a way to keep himself and his fellow colleagues alive in the coming battle. Signal Moon book review

Meslec, N., & Curşeu, P. L. (2013). Too close or too far hurts cognitive distance and group cognitive synergy. Small Group Research, 44, 471–497. We know Quinn for her novels set in the past. There’s always some sort of thriller to the tale, but the focus is always on real individuals from the past. Whether it’s a German Nazi trying to live free in the 1970s or a mystery surrounding codebreakers in the 1940s, there’s something that connects us to a very real past. There isn’t a lot of time to explain what’s going on. We don’t even get an explanation as to how the wires cross, but that doesn’t matter. All that matters is that we have these two characters who try to help each other. While Lily looks to save Matt, he wants her to know that the war she’s fighting is one the Allies can win. There’s a connection that you wouldn’t think possible with two people from different time periods. Perhaps, you remember the movie, The Final Countdown which came out in 1980. It was about the battleship Nimitz, which was propelled into the past and appeared in the fight in World War 2. It was one I did like.Hall, J., & Watson, W. H. (1970). The effects of a normative intervention on group decision-making performance. Human Relations, 23, 299–317. When there was a war on, and when your part in it was so deadly serious it sometimes kept you from sleeping at night, there was really nothing to do but make jokes about it all. It was either make jokes or start weeping at your desk, so Lily made jokes. In the audiobook, the two characters are brilliantly voiced by their own narrators, Saskia Maarleveld for Lily and Andrew Gibson for Matt and they embody their characters beautifully. The audio would not have worked half so well with a single narrator. (Saskia Maarleveld is also the narrator for several of the author’s novels, including this year’s The Diamond Eye, which just moved up the towering TBR pile as a result.) I can never resist a Kate Quinn story and I enjoyed this dual historical that sees a women in 1943 talk to a US navy man in 2023.

I didn't read the blurb so I didn't know it had time travel in it. Did I enjoy it? Absolutely, I just hoped for a different ending. Crafter by nature, customer service manager by trade, Wisconsinite by blood, sports enthusiast by choice.Pistols for propulsion? It would bump you 10 inches… and the CO2 tank would get one of the crew a few hundred yards away. Fun, but futile. What they get is more than either of them ever bargained for. It’s enough – and it’s not nearly enough at all.

After revealing the correct answers and allowing teams to calculate their scores, record the team score and the lowest individual score from each team. Subtract the team score from the individual score; this provides the “synergy” score. Ask the students in the teams with negative synergy scores why they think their team performed as it did. Then ask the teams with positive synergy scores why they think their teams performed well. Listen for evidence of good collaboration in the teams with positive synergy. NASA Exercise Handout Kate Quinn is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction.

Kate and her husband now live in San Diego with three rescue dogs. Kate Quinn is known for her thrillers set with real individuals. That changes a little with Signal Moon. Here’s our review of Signal Moon by Kate Quinn. This well-researched novella had me wanting more. Although completely illogical, I felt bad for the main characters. How could they live out their respective lives with such a big secret and such an emotional connection that could never be fully explored? 😢😢😢As Ms. Quinn states in the author’s notes “I’ve never written anything with a modern day plot thread, so Signal Moon was a fun departure from my usual strictly historical territory”. Water will either freeze or boil in the tanks, they need to be thermally regulated before drinking. Just opening the tank would cause the water to boil off without atmospheric pressure. I don’t know of a space suit capable of being refilled with water while out. Signal Moon”, by Kate Quinn is a bit of a science fiction story involving physics and multi-dimensions. Also, not a genre I gravitate to. Author Kate Quinn is the draw. She is one of my favorite historical fiction authors. In a Nutshell: My very first Kate Quinn work, and I loved it! Just a short story and yet what lovely character development and writing! I could almost hear and see the characters. Using the LR1110 RF chip, the team also measured the frequency offset due to the Doppler effect caused by the relative motion of the Earth and the Moon.

Yorkshire, 1943. Lily Baines, a bright young debutante increasingly ground down by an endless war, has traded in her white gloves for a set of headphones. It’s her job to intercept enemy naval communications and send them to Bletchley Park for decryption. This was a very clever time travel sort of plot, but with lots of facts of historical significance in both the past and present timeline. The author’s note at the end is not to be missed either! During any one lunar month (approximately 28 days) any two places on the globe will have mutual visibility of the moon, permitting communications by EME, to take place. At the extremes this may only be for a few minutes, but at shorter separations, such as with Europe or between Europe and North America, the moon may be mutually visible for many hours at a time.This cookie, set by YouTube, registers a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen. One of the great things about it is you’re hooked from the beginning. There isn’t the time for a slow burn to get to know the individuals. We’re thrown straight into the main plot, and it’s all steam ahead from there. The strength of this story is in the characters. The author sketches us a complete picture of Lily and her wartime service with just a bit of description and a whole lot of Lily’s internal monologue as she goes through her day pretending that everything is going to be alright even though she’s scared right down to her not-nearly-warm-enough fingertips that all is already lost.
