Does anyone know if any of these tapes are still around ? I've heard bits and pieces, but I've always wondered if I ever actually made it through the brief pile-ups and into his audio log ... I know I heard him on several passes and called him back, I was mobile. Seems the first pass or two, it was not that busy - I heard more acks later.

Alan,

have a look at http://www.dd1us.de, menu item "sounds from space", there is (amongst lots of others) a STS-9 recording of Dec 4th 1983.
