February 2005 AO-51 (Amsat Echo) Schedule
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/echo/ControlTeam.php
Updated 30 Jan 2005
AO-51 Kid's Day, rescheduled for Saturday, February 5th. Approximate
time from 1415utc 5 Feb to 0300utc 6 Feb.
Amsat-NA will sponsor Kid's Day on AO-51. We ask that all amateur radio
stations 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. And who knows, maybe one or more of the kids will be helping Amsat
in the future.
[ANS thanks Mike, KE4AZN for the above information]
