little commo problem right now.
Still no UHF commo. They gotta have back up.
Seven minutes to touchdown.

No commo for the last 11 minutes. Five minutes to touchdown
To: Riley
Sorry.
Don't know if anyone is watching NASA TV but it is awfully quiet.
By now there would have been cameras on the Shuttle.
Don't know about the controllers but my pulse is going up.
They are still seeking traking data. Going to contingency procedures.

No radar track either. Hope everything is alright and this is only a technical SNAFU. Should be visible from the Cape by now.
To: leadpenny
Everyone, check the networks.
