[Scan-DC] anything from Goddard?

[Robert Kirk]

 From Goddard a couple of days ago:

>The Goddard Amateur Radio Club, WA3NAN will begin shuttle retransmission
>with the next mission.  The next mission is set for July 13, 2005.
>Shuttle retransmission frequencies used will remain the same.  The
>frequencies are as follows:
>           Band       Frequency               +/- 5 kHz, QRM or Nets
>           80m          3.860 MHz
>           40m          7.185 MHz
>           20m          14.295 MHz
>           15m          21.395 MHz
>           19m          28.650 MHz
>           2m          147.450 MHz
>
>We welcome back manned missions to space.
