Shuttle STS-115

[Iain McFadyen]

A successful launch this morning at 11:15am.

Anyone interested in listening to the Shuttle might like to know that the
air-ground communications are re-transmitted on 147.450MHz out of Greenbelt MD
at about 300-400 watts. 

The Shuttle communications are also re-broadcast on a handful of amateur HF
bands, again, out of Goddard/Greenbelt, at about 1kW per transmitter. For a
full list of the HF spot-frequencies, go to the following site. Scroll down to
"MD".
