Audrey...You were right too! Thanks! This may have been the monkey wrench that messed up the best layed plans. Look for some real action this week, imo.
If you have a good radio scanner/monitor you can track the shuttle and the space station as they fly over your area. Much of this depends on your location. In the northeastern part of the US we can monitor them. Their operating frequencies are public information too...
Good listening if you're lucky enough to catch them...
