I watched the launch of Discovery on a TVRO system this morning, and
I must say it was a refreshing change from trying to sort out the junk
the network newscasters clog up the airways with.
If you have been looking for the sat info, I caught the NASA link on
Satcom F1R (F1 in most sat mags) on transponder 18. F1 is in geosync
over 139 W longitude. A different magazine showed the NASA link to be
on Galaxy G1 (the next sat west of F1) on transponder 13. I didn't try
to confirm this as G1 comes in very poorly on a 7 ft dish from central
Indiana, and I was also trying to video tape the launch.
For those of you with HF ham radio low band gear or a shortwave
receiver, the Goddard Amateur Radio Club in Greenbelt, MD is again
retransmitting the shuttle audio on 3.860, 7.185, and 14.290 MHz.
