		    SHUTTLE SEARCH CONTINUES

			   Bob Parnass


     Combined units of the US Navy, Coast  Guard,  and	NASA
     are  continuing  their operations today off the Florida
     coast for debris from the Space Shuttle.  Several units
     were monitored in the operation, including:

	- USCG Cutters Point Roberts, Dauntless, and Dallas

	- USS Samson

	- Navy Patrol Boat 778

	- USCG Search and Rescue Aircraft 1710

	- USCG Search and Rescue Helicopter 1430

	- Navy Rescue Aircraft 322

     Primary frequencies involved appear  to  be  5.680	 MHz
     (usb) and 282.8 MHz.

     Data Marking Buoys	(DMBs),	which  transmit	 signals  on
     UHF,  are	being  dropped by aircraft where wreckage is
     spotted.  Try listening for a buoy	on 240.6 MHz if	 you
     live near the affected area.
