we'll get going here in a couple minutes. Working out a data reception problem. Not a biggy.

Did they just say they'd pick up at L-7 instead of L-14?

The actual time of the hold will be determined by when the agreed to T-0 is set. It can be little as L-7

Multipath was the cause, apparently. Staying on hardline until liftoff.

So they will use a hardline telemetry source (in the AE Hanger I believe I heard) until lift off and then RF after lift off.

Yep - multipath from TEL4 to AE.

Interesting. There was a discussion a while ago (deleted as off topic) on whether you could speed up launches by powering up the spacecraft earlier (while or before erecting the rocket). One argument against is that spacecraft monitoring required a hard-line connection, which is hard to get while transporting. But here the normal procedure is using the RF link, so it's clearly possible and acceptable to at least some spacecraft handlers. (though there are clearly issues with this, as this launch shows).
