[net.ham-radio] Amateur Radio Relay Frequencies for STS-5

karn (11/11/82)

Now you can finally start saving money with that expensive HF SSB
station.  The FCC has granted the amateur radio clubs at Johnson Space
Center and JPL authority to rebroadcast STS-5 communications, so you
don't have to waste money calling the Dial-It number.

W6VIO will transmit on 224.04 mhz; this may not be too useful outside
of Pasadena.  However, W5RRR at JSC will transmit on 28.6, 21.36, 14.28 or
14.23 mhz, depending on conditions.

(The following information just came from an AP wire story.)
