[MilCom] Shuttle pre-launch comms

> Question:  who is "BRD" or "PRD" ?  

Hello Old Friend.

It is the Booster Recovery Director (works with the Freedom and Liberty Star shuttle booster recovery vessels). Your answer can be find that answer and many more calls at the end of my Monitoring NASA and Space Communications Guide, available for free at our newly revamped MT website at http://www.monitoringtimes.com. I have quite a few of their callsigns translated into English for the rest of us. ;-)))

73 Daryll and hope all is well with you and the family de Jefe
