[MilCom] Fwd: [MilRadioComms] Shuttle Launch Prep comms

[RICHARD L. KRAMER]

Hey Guys; I watched the launch on Fox news just before leaving for work. I 
hooked up the BCD396 to the roof mounted Larsen tri-band scanner antenna and 
heard the shuttle for about 10 minutes on 259.7 from 2:47pm local to about 
2:55pm local. The 396 did an excellent job of receiving.
