Amsat Kid's Day on June 17Mike, KE4AZN, Amsat VP-Operations, and Echo Command Station says AMSAT-NA, the AO-51 Command Team, and the AO-51 Operations Team will sponsor Kid’s Day on AO-51 on June 17, 2006. The event is open to all kids, worldwide. We ask all amateur radio stations to give 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. AO-51 will be configured in the following mode during the event. Please note we will use the normal AO-51 uplink frequency for the event with the PL tone will be turned ON. Uplink: 145.920 mhz FM voice 67 Hz PL Tone The digital transponder on 435.150 will be turned off during the event. See http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/kd-rules.html on the ARRL website for more Kids Day information. Mike, KE4AZN
