Amsat Kids Day on AO-51
To coincide with the ARRLâ€Ös Kidâ€Ös Day on January 2, 2004, AMSAT-NA will
sponsor Kidâ€Ös Day on AO-51. The event will run from approximately 1600
UTC 02 Jan to 0345 UTC 03 Jan. We ask all amateur radio stations to give
this short time window to promote satellite operations with kids. If not
actually showing a kid how to make contacts via AO-51, then providing a
station to contact, or stepping aside to allow others to make contacts
with the kids. During the event please limit contacts to stations that
are operating with kids at the microphone. This should allow the kids to
have a nice QSO and pass some information. Kids can tell their name,
age, who is helping them operate on AO-51, where they live, and other
information about themselves.
AO-51 will be configured in the following mode during the event. Please
note the change in the uplink frequency for the event.
Uplink: 145.880 mhz FM voice, 67hz tone
Downlink: 435.300 mhz FM voice
This will be a good opportunity for Amsat to show off our educational
side. Who knows, maybe one or more of the kids will be helping Amsat in
the future.
[ANS thanks Mike, KE4AZN, for the above information]
