[MilCom] UHF Space shuttle frequencies?

[Larry Van Horn]

Thanks Mike. Looks like all those press releases we got in the office and
PIO folks at the Cape were full of it. Can't trust them journalistic types.
;-) Glad to see they haven't abandoned those freqs. They are still in my
radio and was waiting on this mission before I threw them out once and for
all.
