There's a good bunch of hams in the area that cover just about all of the Cape launches and rebroadcast the countdown nets on a local repeater.
You can get the skinny at http://www.lisats.org/.
I was able to view a shuttle launch a while back from next to the VAB, and had my little VX-3 tuned to their freq. I was consistently up to date on holds, issues, and the like.

I will be down at KSC to cover Endeavour's last launch from the press site next week, and I was just wondering if any hams on the list would be making the trip down to the cape? The white house announced yesterday that POTUS will be attending this launch, so security may be interesting.
I'll be tweeting and posting photos of RSS retraction + launch.
