     I've heard various reports (rumors) that one of the Challenger
shuttle crew is an amateur radio operator and that he will have a
radio (2 meter) with him to make contacts as time permits.

     Can anyone confirm or dispute this?  More specifically, if it
is true, can anyone suggest a frequency he might be on?

     Any info would be helpful.

                         Thanks, John Burgess, N7DCQ
