An HT should do the trick. I've heard MIR, DO-17, and STS-xx on my HT.
I even talked to the STS folk while I was watching them from the ground.
I told them that they'd just gone into the earth's shadow, and they wondered
how I knew. I told them that they make a pretty bright 'star' as they zip
along, and that I just saw them wink out!

Subject: Satellite FAQ answers (long)
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
An addition to Stephen's amateur satellite FAQ: AMRAD-OSCAR 27
(AO-27) downlink is 436.8 MHZ (actually, its closer to
436.7975), not 436.9. Operating mode is presently analog FM voice at
either 0.5W or 2 W downlink transmit power. Uplink is 145.85 MHz,
analog FM voice. The satellite is in a schedule placing the amateur
payload in use during daytime passes over the Northern Hemisphere. Note
that this schedule can change WQxx WITHOUT NOTICE based on the requirements
of the "host" commercial EYESAT satellite's mission.
BTW, I've copied the article, and plan to use it for a satellite beginner's forum
we'll be holding in the Washington Area next month. And I'm glad that summary
I posted back in '93xxx '92 was useful!

The program you're looking for was written by John Hansen, WA0PTV. I
believe that he is on the internet at wa0ptv@amsat.org. I'm sure that
he'd be glad to help you out.
If you drop him a line, tell him I said hello!

As you may know GARC volunteers undertake to retransmit Shuttle Ground
transmissions. Please note the following:
INTERESTED IN SHUTTLE TRANSMISSIONS
The Goddard Amateur Radio Club (GARC)invites interested people to tune in to
Shuttle transmissions. As a public service to the Amateur radio community,
the GARC retransmits space shuttle air-to-ground
communications. During the STS-62 mission, Amateur radio operators, shortwave
listeners, and those individuals with scanners can listen to these
communications on the following HF (single side band) and VHF frequencies:
3.860 MHz (lower sideband)
7.185 MHz (lower sideband)
14.295 MHz (upper sideband)
21.395 Mhz (upper sideband)
28.650 Mhz (upper sideband)
