I moved from there 10 yrs ago, but the Titusville repeater always had the Shuttle audio on it. I can't immagine it's changed -------------------------- Sent from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld

There was a question posted of how to receive the shuttle rebroadcasts in the space coast area. I was hoping a local would respond but this information follows from W4UFL, a club member who is staff here at UF in Gainesville. I plan on using the info since as luck would have it I depart on a cruise from Port Canaveral about two hours before the launch. I'll bring along a HT and videocamera. If there is not a delay we'll have an ocean view!

<<Last time I was there, it was on 146.910 or 146.940 but I'm not really sure what the current freq. is. Several repeaters usually carry it.
I have heard it is on UHF as well as VHF. Scanning has a good chance of getting it since the launch coverage is usually active.
There are some web sites but I don't know how fresh they are.

146.940 146.340 103.5 NASA Select Audio - Space Shuttle Rebroadcast -
Merritt Island
If you have ATV, you can even pick up NASA-TV rebroadcast over Amateur Television.
You can hear the NASA Select Channel on a "radio scanner" of the type sold at Radio Shack. Tune to 146.940 MHz for the Merritt Island ham radio repeater where John K4GCC has a line into the Space Center. A backup frequency is 147.135 MHz. The Titusville "chat" frequnecy is 146.910 MHz, and if you're a ham operator yourself, call N4SCY on 146.970 MHz, and I'll be happy to talk you into a good viewing site.
