[MilCom] NASA Vessels up on 5711 kHz USB

[AllanStern at aol.com]

It is Sunday 10:09am EDT (1409z).
  The NASA SRB recovery vessels "Liberty Star" and "Freedom Star" are  up on 
5711 kHz USB, in comms with Cape Radio. Cape Radio tried to QSY them to HF  
freq 9132, but even though I heard both sides well, Cape Radio could not hear  
them. It seemed like the vessels could hear Cape Radio, however.
  Unfortunately with the weather here so bad, it is doubtful the  STS-121 
launch will take place today, so the Liberty Star and Freedom Star will  have to 
wait another day to retrieve solid rocket boosters.  They feel like  The 
Butcher does when I toss his frisbee and it gets caught high in a  tree.
