[Scan-DC] Get set for Shuttle launch -- 259.7 MHz AM

[Doug Kitchener]

Thanks, I just programmed it into the 396... wonder if I'll hear anything with the rubber duckie!

Where will the xmitter of this be - is it repeated?  Is Goddard Space Flight Center involved (in radio comms?)

Andy, are you hearing anything now?  I'm guessing we won't hear anything until the Shuttle is over the horizon?

Sorry for all the questions, have never listened for anything like this before!  Wheeeee!

DK
