I don't, no. But I could try to find it for you.

[edit]I don't know if these are accurate or not (condiering the site is from 1999), but you could try this:

I would just try a google search if not.

In all likelihood, military frequencies, possibly encrypted, so I wouldn't hold your breath.  :(

I pray it makes it way through all the space junk.  From that post with those pictures of the junk all around it would seem impossible.
