According to the list I obtained from the shuttle web, STS-78 is the LAST 39
degree profile through, at least, 2001. I believe the next 20-30 are about
90% 52 degree inclinations. This should improve everyone's chances for
contact.
I also read recently that the Ham set-up is being viewed as important to
crew morale and figures to become more frequently in the flight plan.
As for me, my little Radio Shack (Pro-35) hand-held scanner has yet to get a
blip. I am using either a telescoping or the rubber antenna. I have set
the telescoping unit to the specified ham length. I track with STSPLUS and
follow the flight plan. Should I just be patient or am I waisting my time?
Will my 145.550 be able to handle the Doppler?
