Hi Folks,

It looks like SuitSat will go up on 3 Feb!

It should be pretty close to the ISS so you can use its Keplerian elements 
if you have a tracking program, but AMSAT and NASA both have tracking on 
line if you don't have a tracking program.  Listen on 145.990 MHz FM but its 
only 1/2 watt so you may need an outdoor antenna or a long rubber duck (or 
maybe a small Yagi).  It will do a voice greeting in various languages 
followed by telemetery (also voice) and finish with a preprogramed SSTV 
picture in Robot 36 and then repeat the sequence.

Happy listening!
