Default Space Shuttle Frequencies

Well I tuned to 5190 USB, 5180 USB & 1078.00 USB on my ICOM R75 and my
GRUNDIG SATELIT 800 and no signals. My location is New York City and
using a fiberglass whip on a 6 floor building with good clearance on the
North and East. About 7 miles from the Atlantic ocean.

BTW: How many watts of tranmission do the ground base in Florida use?

And do the astronauts also talk on those FRQ?
