I understand that the current ham antenna situation is the same as
during Owen Garriot's flight. That is the ham-in-space puts an antenna
up against a window when operation is to take place. It seems
inconceivable to disconnect any "real" equipment during flight, and
the cost of getting another hole in the shuttle whould be stupendous,
as would be the delay.
