Anyone know if there will be a shuttle launch re-broadcast on ham frequencies in the Denver area? Thanks in advance.
The CRA's (Colorado Repeater Association) (http://www.w0cra.org/) rebroadcasts a direct feed from the shuttle launch... Most NASA frequencies are in the military band and you won't be able to hear them unless you have a pretty good antenna setup.evilklown said:is there any non ham frequncy's for the shuttle launch or just ham??

edit: after looking at their website it looks like the club now uses an IRLP feed to broadcast the shuttle.
A couple of frequencies that I have had friends hear comms on are: UHF Air-to-Ground voice downlink (AM) – 259.700 MHz (Primary)/296.800 MHz (Secondary). Again it takes quite the antenna to be able to hear stuff from here, so best bet would be to listen to the CRA. Also if I am not mistaken, most of their everyday comms are on freqs up in the "higher Ghz," like 15+Ghz. So it would be kind of hard to monitor those considering most receivers only go to 2Ghz. Have fun..
CRA freqs were listed above
147.225/224.980 Conifer Mountain (Denver-wide area)
145.460 Lee Hill (Boulder)
145.160 Cheyenne Mountain (Colorado Springs)
Well, you will have no problems what so ever listening to 147.225/145.460. They both cover the front range very well. I can listen to 7.225 most indoor places here in FTC with an HT, again have fun monitoring!evilklown said:I just wanted to let you know thank you for you input on this that is good to hear i dont have a strong antenna yet but i wasnt thinking of that right away when i read the post. thanks agian...!!!
The CRA (Colorado Repeater Association) has a new UHF freq of 447.575 located on Sqaw Mountain currently i'm hearing the Space Shuttle Command Center on this freqency. Every now and then it cuts out.. So try 447.575.mpg0515 said:Well, you will have no problems what so ever listening to 147.225/145.460. They both cover the front range very well.

Good catch Tom, I had forgotten that the CRA was working on this repeater.rckydenver said:The CRA (Colorado Repeater Association) has a new UHF freq of 447.575 located on Sqaw Mountain currently i'm hearing the Space Shuttle Command Center on this freqency.
