=======> WA3NAN will broadcast STS-30 on 7183Khz(LSB) <========= (they have a morse given ID perodically, and a voice message ID, tune in the station and wait. (There is more to do than play with communications!)) I have just logged WA3NAN in 7183 Khz(LSB) from New York City. WA3NAN is the club station of the Godard Amature Radio Club (located in Greenbelt, Maryland) which in the past has given monitors a great service by broadcasting the Air to Ground communications for Shuttle missions. The recorded message says that they will be providing the same service for mission 30 of the Space Shuttle (STS-30), which is due to launch in about and hour and a half. If WA3NAN works this mission like it has in the past, they will re-broadcast NASA live during the day, and will work some Ham traffic after dropping the feed at night. The Ham chatter after the feed drops is also quite interesting. This station should be active all weekend (assuming things work as they have in the past).
