I beleive it was a Motorola MX-300 handheld 5 watt unit into a four
element crossed yagi set up for circular polarization. It was a
duplicate of the same radio that flew on STS-9. It also helped to have
the one frequency that nobody in the amatuer community knew about
other than us at the club and those at Newington Conn. (home of the
ARRL). We had essentially a clear frequency to the shuttle and Dr.
Garriot.
