Can't answer that Question Pete, I'm over 100km away and cannot receive a
thing from them. They used to gether quite a large audience when they were
on 576MHz. Lots of people tuned into them when their new TV's autoscanned
and found their test card.

I was watching the webcast and connecting to them via packet everytime the
flew over. Yep, it was pretty good video!

I would love to have been able to receive the EVA signals direct but they
are on 410.2MHz, wideband FM, 1.4MHz wide. Nothing I have would copy that.

Thanks Brad

By the way have TV Gladesville been showing any of the Space Shuttel
coverage live? Last we night we had vision of Steve Robinson fixing the
Space Shuttle - it was quite amazing to watch. Previously we have shown
the launch of the Space Shuttle and also interviews with the crew as
well as some other space walks.

Mind you enjoy it while you can because I suspect that there is
probably not going to be a space shuttle mission for a while after this
one, possibly not ever if they decide to scrap the program. I'm still
amazed at how NASA can send a craft like this up which, from a tile
point of view, appears to be quite fragile.
