ah so that was you with the tiny turtle eh?I was the guy with the deathly pale skin, bald head and monkey shirt. lol.
Does it make sense to bring a scanner along? Could I tune into the loop? If so, what frequency?

Range is trying to relocate some 40 or so people from the extreme south end of Assateague to clear additional people-free space because of the strong southwesterly winds... if they are successful, AND the FAA approves the new debris limit lines, we MIGHT be able to launch today...If they do it, it would be the most awesome real-time reprogramming I've ever seen a range do...I guess they will tell them that either they move back or the will NOT see a launch...
