As mentioned previously, the LISATS repeater on 146.940 does a good job of re-transmitting audio during a launch. I believe they come on an hour or two before launch time, and it's a great place to listen.
Also give a holler on our 442.400 repeater http://k4rpt.com/ we are south of KSC in Melbourne, but have reasonable coverage up that way, especially if you have a mobile radio. HT's should work OK, but will probably be spotty, although we have had people check in from the Canaveral National Seashore with HT's with no problem. We also re transmit some launch audio, but on an informal basis. Echo/IRLP is available as well. A good repeater list is at http://florida-repeaters.org/dblist.htm search for Brevard County. An incomplete list is at http://www.repeaterbook.com/repeaters/LocationSearch.php?state_id=12&loc=Brevard&type=county That way you can have someone to talk to while sitting in the traffic that is likely to ensue!
