There might be occasions on SO-50 when you're the only\none on, but over the 'States, this is rather rare on AO-51, especially\nin high power mode.\n\nWe're having problems with dead carriers on AO-51 this week, where\nsometimes even the regulars with good antenna setups can't get in due\nto interference from stations without PL. Please listen first and use\nthe correct PL.\n\n73's and good luck!\n\nSeptember 11 to September 18\nFM Repeater, L/S\nUplink: 1268.700 MHz FM, No PL Tone\nDownlink: 2401.200 MHz FM \t\t\t\t\n\n[ANS thanks KD6PAG, for the above information]\n\n/EX\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-253.05\nSuitsat Re-enters\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 253.05\n From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nSeptember 10, 2006\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-253.05\n\nAll,\n\nOn September 7, 2006 at 16:00 GMT, SuitSat-1 re-entered about 1400 km\nsouth-southwest of Western Australia.

Your hard work and dedication paid off.\n\nIn just 3 weeks the SuitSat team developed and delivered a safe satellite\nsystem that has gained the confidence of the international space\nagencies. The web and PR team were able to garner unprecedented press\ncoverage of our ham/educational outreach activity, including over 9 million\nhits on www.suitsat.org in February. Students around the world had the\nopportunity to participate in a 7 month \"school spacewalk\" with the\nartwork, pictures, signatures and voices on-board. And the \"super-sleuth\"\nham radio operator extraordinaires were able to pull a significant amount\nof data from the satellite despite of its low signal strength.\n\nAnd my congratulations to the students and adults who won the Chicken\nLittle contest!!\n\nNext for SuitSat-1--the commemorative certificates/diplomas. And at the\nAMSAT-NA symposium/ARISS meeting we will discuss our thoughts and plans for\na potential SuitSat-2.\n\nStay tuned!\n\n73, Frank H.

Jeff\nWilliams, KD5TVQ, answered 19 questions asked by ten children via the\ntelebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. Jeff Williams’ niece was one of\nthe children selected to participate in the session. A local paper\ncovered the contact. Twenty-one connections, including 3 repeater nodes,\nfrom 7 countries were made to the EchoLink AMSAT (101 377) and JK1ZRW\n(277 208) servers. Audio was also fed into the IRLP Discovery Reflector\n9010, and was webcast courtesy of Verizon Conferencing.
