AMSAT News Service Bulletin 193.01 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. July 11, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-193.01
AMSAT-NA President Robin Haighton, VE3FRH has asked me to handle issuance of
OSCAR numbers, and has written me requesting an OSCAR number for the ECHO
satellite. Therefore, in response to his communication, I hereby issue ECHO
the number AMSAT-OSCAR-51 (AO-51) to this exciting new amateur radio
spacecraft. Thus, AO-51 joins a long line of amateur radio satellites
beginning with OSCAR-1 launched in December, 1961.
I wish to congratulate everyone involved in the design, construction,
testing, preparing for launch, launching and commissioning of this latest
Amateur Radio spacecraft.
I trust that amateurs all over the world will have an opportunity to avail
themselves of the many features offered by AO-51.
May AO-51 have a long and productive life.
Best wishes and 73,
William (Bill) Tynan, W3XO
[ANS thanks Bill, W3XO for the above information]
