Suit-sat Not dead.

Suit sat is a very crude satellite, LOW power and "major tom" is tumbling.
Antennas are not oriented twards earth all the time/no stability.

It is still transmiting! Yes Feb 5th am(exact time unknown) NQ2O Walt logged
a copy on 2 passes. I can get times if needed from Walts copy;

Dont give up, Suitsat ia still alive!!!! Good antennas needed.
