From: Richard Gillmann <GILLMANN@USC-ISIB.ARPA> I'd like to be able to connect with the space shuttle on its trip next March carrying packet radio. My question is what kind of radio equipment is required? I assume an all-mode 2meter rig is needed because they may use frequencies that are not an even 5 KHz. How much power is needed? What kind of antenna? And if a gain antenna is required, how can it be made to track the shuttle? Richard Gillmann N6MPP -------
