[sci.space.shuttle] Chicago Area - Space Shuttle Atlantis - Monitoring

REPOST-FROM:mwester%waveguide.Central@Sun.COM (Mike Westerhof SE Chicago Metro)

Shuttle traffic will be rebroadcast by the 145.21 repeater... the audio
feed actually comes from the NASA select channel from one of the TV satellites.
This repeater is located around Northbrook (I think -- it isn't listed in the
repeater directory), so you may need an outside antenna to hear it at Indian
Hill (Naperville).

Also, there may be a rebroadcast of the video during the evenings on ATV.
Check 439.25Mhz or 434.25Mhz.  If you have a cable-ready TV, try cable
channels 58-60, and swing your antenna around...
(ATV audio activity will be on 144.34Mhz -- you'll hear activity on this
frequency when the video is on).

good luck --  de KA9WSB
