Shuttle Atlantis Launch

This afternoon, I went out with the BC396 to catch the Shuttle Atlantis launch. Surprisingly, I caught more with the HT here in Brunswick than I have with the base setup in Savannah. I don't know whether to attribute that to location or launch trajectory. Future launches may indicate which is the answer. A few minutes after launch, as usual, I began picking up the transmissions; the last one I could make out was "single engine past 104."
