The streaming webcast was acting glitchy for me at first, but after retrying a couple of times, it seems to be playing well now.

Not necessarily. Quicktime, for example, uses 554, IIRC.

If your in So. Calif. turn on your scanner. Shouldn't be too difficult to hear when they reach the upper atmosphere.

Streamings are better than FoxNews ALERT BANNER.
[Why doesn't their control room operatior have 2 braincells that work? Why does FoxNews cover 1/3 of the screen during live and video with their dang banner? (end rant)]
