Ham relay of shuttle
This last weekend's "DX News" report from Glenn Hauser on Radio Canada
International's Shortwave Listener's Digest had this info:

There will be a relay of the shuttle communications via the ham
station W5RRR on the following frequencies (SSB):

3940 kHz
7265 kHz
14280 kHz
21365 kHz
28600 kHz

I tried listening on each of those frequencies last night, tuning a
reasonable amount above and below, and heard no indication of the shuttle
traffic, though.  I don't know if this was intended to relay just
the launch, all the traffic with Houston all during the flight, or just
selected times.  Also, I don't know if they intended to use one frequency
at a time, depending on propagation. all frequencies at once, or some
selection of them.  Anyway, thought it might be of interest to somebody on
the list.  If I detect any relayed traffic, I'll report on it.
