The amateur radio club at the Goddard Spaceflight center in Maryland (callsign WA3NAN) rebroadcasts the shuttle audio from a NASA feed for most (if not all) missions. If you have a shortwave radio listen on the following frequencies: 3860 KHZ 7185 KHZ 14295 KHZ 21390 KHZ (maybe) For this area the 3860 freq is best during the hours of darkness, and 7185 or 14295 during the day, depending on propagation conditions. The transmissions are all SSB (not AM) so you may not be able to copy them on all radios, but any amateur or shortwave listing receiver will have no trouble - the WA3NAN rigs put out a terrific signal. /Maurice (KV1D)

Thanx for the info Maurice. I am an avid shortwave listener with 43 countries verified via QSL cards. I am wondering if there are other short wave listeners out there who would like to start up a SWL notes file. I can supply a list of Countries, frequencies and times. /Harold | |||||

Many years ago NASA maintained an HF radio link for all of it's manned space flight operations. It was around 15.1 MHz. Does anyone know if there is a similar relay system for the shuttle? /Roger (K7AYC) | |||||

There are a few hf radio links still in use. One of the most common is 20.192 MHZ (+/- a few khz) Lower Sideband. Another popular frequency for shuttle comms (comms from Cape Radio, not a rebroadcast of shuttle traffic) is 10.780 MHZ Upper Sideband. A frequency of 7.525 MHZ USB has been used occasionally. I would like to corespond with hams/swls/ and utility monitors (hf/VHF/UHF). /Ed N1BFF MRO2-2/D14 DTN 231-5060 | |||||
