To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-142.04
On 11 June 2005, AMSAT-NA and the AO-51 Operations Team will sponsor the
second Kid's Day on AO-51 for 2005. The event will run from approximately
1420 UTC 11 June until 0450 UTC 12 June. The event is open to all kids,
worldwide. All amateur radio stations are asked to use this short time
window to promote satellite operations with kids by actually showing a kid
how to make contacts via AO-51, 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. A
certificate is available from the AO-51 Team to any kid making a successful
Kid's Day contact. Please check the AMSAT Web Site, AO-51 Control Team Page,
and other AMSAT news outlets for details on the award.
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, 67 Hz tone
Downlink: 435.300 MHz FM voice
The digital transponder on 435.150 will be turned off during the event.
[ANS thanks Mike, KE4AZN and the AO-51 Team for the above information]
