[sci.space.shuttle] NASA Select reception quality

    Does anyone else have frequent problems getting a clean signal off
Satcom F2-R for NASA Select?  Sometimes no amount of fine tuning will
get rid of all the garbage.

NASA Select in one one of the transponders (13) that is one of the most
seriously affected by terrestrial interference (TI).  Perhaps your local
AT&T or telco needs to join MCI in blowing up microwave towers.
