[Scan-DC] Wallops launch

[Doug Kitchener]

looks as if the Wallops launch of five sounding rockets will go off at midnight or so on Wed / Thur, ie about 27 hours from now... thanks to those who responded and sorry I haven't answered individually... am on dialup down here and to top that off, hotmail has been acting up with the browsers that I have... for some reason Wallops has taken launch info off of their website, but recorded info is at 757/824-2050... visitor center opens 2 hours before launch, I plan to run down there tomorrow eve about this time... units, stand by!

It looks as if this launch of five sounding rockets in 5 minutes from Wallops Island may come off on Wednesday night.  As luck would have it (for once), I'm going to be in the area!  Does anyone have any info on what sort of radio communications I might be able to hear and on what frequencies?  If I remember correctly, Wallops has possibly two 800 MHz digital trunked systems... I think I have them programmed into my BC396, but they've never been tested.  Will try to check RadioReference but right now I'm on dialup internet and even that isn't working too well... thanks for any help...
