NASA Select. No special equipment to purchase! Amateur Radio Operators are permitted to retransmit the NASA video during shuttle missions. AATV retransmits the live shuttle video on W7ATV/R. Due to the location of the repeater and the wide valley coverage, many hams and non-hams alike enjoy watching the action from space. Although we can "drop the video" to allow someone to test and tune, it is normally up as long as the astronauts are "up". (except for net times.) Try the AATV channel - Cable 57. Tune your TV to cable channel 57. leave the set tuned for cable and in place of your cable connection simply use an outside UHF TV antenna pointed toward Shaw Butte,
in the North Mountain Preserve. (approx
Central - 19th Ave. and Cactus). You will get better performance if you can orient your antenna so
that the elements are vertical rather than the customary horizontal used with
commercial broadcast television. Of course, the higher your antenna is, the better chance you will
have of receiving a good picture. Good Luck
