This sorta crosses several forums, so I'll post this here...
Thanx to Robert Kirk, I got this notice...this is one time I'm glad I was wrong...

retransmission

>Shuttle retransmission frequencies used will remain the same. The
>frequencies are as follows:
> Band Frequency +/- 5 kHz, QRM or Nets
> 80m 3.860 MHz
> 40m 7.185 MHz
> 20m 14.295 MHz
> 15m 21.395 MHz
> 19m 28.650 MHz
> 2m 147.450 MHz
Of course, now we all wait to see when the engineers can get this fuel sensor fixed. Last I heard, it could be Saturday....
On a different note, I keep on hearing that UHF 259.7 is a possible target - it's direct from the Shuttle, and from the Milcom group, it might be heard in the Ohio and Tenn valleys up to blackout altitude (around 20k feet). It probably leaves us Marylanders in the dark, but we have other sources as well...
and for those chasing HF, some not so good news- via Glenn Hauser and
DX Listening Digest...
==========================================
**** ERUPTIVE SUNSPOT GROUP PRODUCES SIGNIFICANT SOLAR ACTIVITY ****
NOAA Region 786 has produced a series of eruptions over the past week.
This region continues to produce radio blackouts at the minor (R1) to
moderate (R2) levels. Associated minor (G1) and moderate (G2)
geomagnetic storms have also been observed as a result of this
activity. A solar radiation storm is also possible.
The active region is currently approaching the northwest limb and
further eruptions are possible before it rotates away from Earth on 14
July. Agencies impacted by solar flare radio blackouts, geomagnetic
storms, and solar radiation storms should continue to closely monitor
the space environment for the next 48 hours.
Data used to provide space weather services are contributed by NOAA,
USAF, NASA, NSF, USGS, the International Space Environment Services
and other observatories, universities, and institutions. More
information is available at SEC's Web site http://sec.noaa.gov
