[net.columbia] Space shuttle on ham bands

fisher@dvinci.DEC (05/02/85)

<...>

Space shuttle mission audio is being rebroadcast by WA3NAN, the Goddard
Amateur Radio Club, on the following frequencies:

	 3860 Khz  (Received here in Central Mass)
	 7185 Khz  ( "            "           "  )
	14295 Khz  (not received here, but announced on WA3NAN)

	(all Upper Sideband)

They appear to miss some of it...e.g. during LOS, mission control
announced that they were going to play an interview with someone.  Then
dead air for 5 min, then they announced that the interview was over.

In any case, if you can receive it, it is a lot cheaper than $.30 /minute
on the 900 number!

the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.  It can be copied
