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?

If you're close to the launch site, you can hear the UHF air to ground on
a scanner direct from the orbiter.
