	I called Dial-a-Shuttle yesterday (Tues 6-21-83) and got to hear
the wake up music (Texas A&M and U. Wash. fight songs) and then a few
minutes of ground crew - shuttle interaction. It was fun because they talked
about the temperature of the German sats. computer.
	Don't expect to hear the astronauts on your first call. The shuttle
is only in contact for about 20% of its orbit. Plus you have to catch them
when they are awake! NSI runs the show like an all news station with plenty
of promotion of NSI. You'll need to listen for a while to find out the
next contact time, and then call back.
