This post from milcom may be useful for those DLRers near Edwards and in socal who want to monitor the drop.
========================================

Hello Brian & fellow MilCom'ers,

Here is a small list of frequencies that I was able to put together from
several sources that should net some action during the X-43 launch scheduled
for this Saturday.

Keep your ears open or callsigns like "NASA-8" or check-in with ZLA of "NASA
008 with Hyper-X".

X-43 "Hyper-X" Launch

NASA Flight Test, Air-to-Air, FRONTIER Control & LA-ARTCC
*******************************************************************
Freq Description / Notes
MHz

122.95 Multicom (plane-to-plane) NOAA severe storm study aircraft,
NASA research aircraft, National Park Service aircraft,
numerous gov't agencies & military services, CDF

123.125 NASA T-38 interplane (nationwide)
123.125 - 123.475 Flight Test (Itinerant: 123.125/.150/.175/.400)

128.625 NASA/NOAA Research
154.530 NASA Mission audio - California

132.15 ZLA [28] Pacific offshore (all altitudes)
338.3 ZLA [28] Pacific offshore (all altitudes)
119.95 ZLA [30] Los Angeles & San Diego
277.4 ZLA [30] Los Angeles & San Diego
369.9 ZLA Center comm

262.8 Edwards Mission
358.6 Edwards Mission
378.1 Edwards Mission

237.0 NASA Flight Test
264.8 NASA Chase Planes

268.0 Edwards Tactical
268.1 Edwards Flight Test
314.6 Edwards NASA Ops
382.6 Edwards NASA Ops

121.4 Vandenberg FRONTIER Control
256.0 Vandenberg FRONTIER Control
266.0 Vandenberg FRONTIER Control

263.8 Pt. Mugu PLEAD (Range surveillance)
277.8 U.S.N. Fleet tactical (PLEAD/BEAVER common)
280.7 Pt. Mugu PLEAD Control

266.9 "BEAVER Control" (North)
272.6 "BEAVER Control" (South)
289.9 "BEAVER Control" (South)

The ZLA airspace for the FRONTIER, PLEAD and BEAVER warning areas is defined
as ZLA Sector #28 (all altitudes). ZLA Sector #30 is defined as high altitude
(don't know the cut-off altitude) airspace above LAX, San Diego to the
Mexican border, and costal points inbetween. Sector #30 frequencies may not
be used by the test flight & upport aircraft in this event.

The Edwards frequencies & NASA Ops may be used on the ground, and I have come
up with few air-to-air frequencies, especially for UHF. If anybody can come
up with some confirmed air-to-air mission frequencies for this test flight,
I'd sure be interested in getting them!
