Re: [Swprograms] DX Listening Digest 7-069; WOR 1362

** INTERNATIONAL VACUUM [non]. Ho hum, another shuttle
launch --- the
Atlantis launch at 2338 UT June 8 was not covered live on
any of the 
OKC network affiliates, since that was in valuable local
syndication 
time (tho KFOR-4 is in local news even), nor on OETA/PBS
which was 
also doing local news. We had to go to CNN, MSNBC, FNC. Now
if there 
had been a police car chase, you can bet KFOR and possibly
the others 
would have spared no expense to get their chopper up and
follow it. We 
should be grateful that the affiliates/OTA networx were so
confident 
there would be no launch disaster? (Glenn Hauser, DX
LISTENING DIGEST)

Glenn,

In case you were not aware, NASA TV carries coverage of
shuttle missions 24/7 beginning at the start of countdown
and ending after the shuttle is defueled and towed to the
hanger.  All you need is a previously subscribed Dish
Network receiver with its deactivated subscriber access card
intact and a single satellite antenna.  These antennas and
receivers are sometimes free for the asking as folks upgrade
to HD TV receivers and multi-satellite antennas.  NASA TV is
on Dish Network channel 213 in the clear.

73,

Joe Buch
