[Scan-DC] anything from Goddard?

[ka3jjz at netscape.com]

 While we were all waiting tosee if the Shuttle was going to launch, did anyone happen to check the old 147.45 Goddard retransmission freq?  I made some spot checks and heard nothing. I would guess that the HF freqs from Goddard were also silent.
 Per some conversations I had from folks at Goddard (while I was still working in the Riverdale area), it would seem unlikely; a lot of the folks working there are contractors, and with the heightened security, the guards wouldn't let them into the complex after hours.  This would be necessary to comply with the amateur rules regarding station control; if a link were to fail, someone would physically have to go there to address any problems.
 I had hoped this issue would be resolved by now; perhaps not. My info is a bit dated; I hope I'm wrong.   73s Mike
