>> Awhile back I heard a message from SKYKING. What exactly is this c/s.

One of four FAQs we see on this and other radio related list. Your answer 
can be found on the Monitoring Times magazine website at 
http://www.monitoringtimes.com/html/eam.html.

And the other three questions are:

Where can I hear the Space Shuttle?

I have updated my NASA/Space Shuttle frequency list. It is now in Adobe PDF 
format, anyone with links to the old html page may want to reset that to the 
new pdf link on the MT website (http://www.monitoringtimes.com). I am also 
blogging any late changes and updates on the MT-Milcom blogspot, address is 
in my sig block.

Another FAQ: "I need airshow frequencies for the BA or TB or ....?

On the MT website you will also find our Airshow frequency list. Again 
updates will be posted to my blogspot.

The fourth FAQ is, "Where can I hear the hurricane hunters?"

You can find my latest list on my personal blog page at 
http://monitor-post.blogspot.com/.
It will be updated as the season progresses and new material is monitored.

You can also find links to two other MT authors blogspots on the MT website 
at http://www.monitoringtimes.com.

Oh yes, the best part of it all, this stuff is all free. It is posted to the 
public section of our website as a service brought to you by the MT staff 
and writers. It is our way of thanking the radio community for their 
continuing support of MT.

73 all and good hunting,
