p.s. I'm talking about only the space shuttle video that is transmitted on
2250.000 mhz.

can that be recieved in the clear on the R3?

I know that I'll only get it when the shuttle's directly over my location IF I
can get it at all.

Unfortunately, there seems to not be any ham tv repeaters in my area, nor any
ham tv transmissions in my area at all.

But even if there were, there's still nothing quite like recieving the space
shuttle video directly on it's own frequency.

(Just like NASA dooes).
