Sounds interesting, and something worth listening to. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:46:21 EDT From: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Fwd: [MilRadioComms] Tomorrow's Space Shuttle Comms Tomorrow night, at 9:20pm EDT, Space Shuttle Mission STS-119 will launch. Beginning a couple of hours before the launch time, stay parked on 10780 kHz USB, and you will hear Cape Radio use the freq to tell the Solid Rocket Booster recovery vessels (Freedom Star and Liberty Star) which HF freq to tune to. Often it takes three or four freq attempts until they find one that is optimum for all parties. Your best bet for hearing something on 259.7, the Shuttle air-ground UHF freq, comes a few seconds after the launch if you are near the launch site, and a bit later if you are further away. Keep the squelch wide open. For Satcoms related to the overseas aborted-mission landing sites, search the 261 MHz NFM area; 261.575 is often used.
