Here is a short video of what I was able to receive on 259.7 from the shuttle on launch. Antenna used was a AT-197/GR discone at 100 feet and 7/8 hardline. Would have been alot better with a yagi. The video quality is poor but good enough to listen to.

Anyone else record the audio from 259.7? If so post your audio clips. Would be interesting to see what people heard in different places.

zguy: great clip!

I was on Jacksonville Beach and had my Pro-97 with me but didn't have anything but my duckie to try to listen. Didn't hear anything but got to see the launch from about 10 seconds from launch thru about a min and a half.
