If you are curious, I searched for rolf's posts. Hope that is not a problem for anyone as rolf just happens to be correct.
Why did you search for rolf's posts? He hasn't posted in two days.
Both scripted events were essentially media productions.

I think the exact location was not determined for a couple of weeks. But I am not sure.

That doesn't make sense. In the case of none of the landings were they able to even tell with the big dishes where the LMs set down. It took lots of effort to find them after they landed. The HAM operators didn't find the LMs on the moon. That is wrong.

In July of 1969 a ham radio operator and amateur radio-astronomer by the name of Larry Baysinger, W4EJA, accomplished an amazing feat. He independently detected radio transmissions from the Apollo 11 astronauts on the lunar surface. Fortunately, his accomplishments were recorded by Glenn Rutherford, a young reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier-Journal. “Lunar Eavesdropping: Louisvillians hear moon walk talk on homemade equipment,” sporting Rutherford’s byline, appeared in the Wednesday, July 23, 1969 issue of that paper — front page of section B, the local news section (see Figure 1).

Recently my wife and I brought our two younger children to Kennedy. We hooked up with Danny and we attended a lecture together about space flight.

"NASA claimed the accelerometers and gyros and the inertial system in general did as well as the tracking dishes."

We attended an "Astronaut Encounter" session.
I suspect the autographs are the genuine article, but honestly one never knows. These guys know no shame.
