I don't know if this was intended to relay just the launch, all the traffic with Houston all during the flight, or just selected times. Also, I don't know if they intended to use one frequency at a time, depending on propagation. all frequencies at once, or some selection of them. Anyway, thought it might be of interest to somebody on the list. If I detect any relayed traffic, I'll report on it.
