Joe-

First, the frequencies listed are not coming from the Shuttle, but from
nearby Ham Radio Stations that have special permission to rebroadcast "NASA
Select Audio".

Second, the frequency in use near KSC, is 146.94 MHz.  The other frequency
would not be heard very well in the immediate KSC area.  I suspect it is
either a reference to the Orlando 146.82 MHz station, or to one in the
Edwards AFB area that you might hear if you were there for a landing.  If
it isn't one of these, it must be one of many in cities around the country.
 Does anyone have a better guess?
