No rules, no scoring and\nno need to send in a log.  Just operate CW through any OSCAR between\n0000 and 2400 UTC on 1 January 2010, using a straight hand key.\n\nThe AMSAT AO-51 Operations Group reminds everyone that AO-51\nwill be configured to support CW operations during the annual\nStraight Key Night event. Participants may operate CW through\nAO-51 between 0000 and 2400 UTC on 1 January 2010, using a\nstraight hand key.\n\nAO-51 will be configured in the following mode during the event:\nSSB/FM Repeater, V/U (CW QSOs only on Straight Key Night)\nUplink:   145.880 MHz USB\nDownlink: 435.150 MHz FM\n\nIn keeping with the friendly nature of this event, all participants\nare encouraged to nominate someone they worked for \"Best Fist.\"  Your\nnominee need not have the best fist of those you heard, just of those\nyou worked.

The event is open to all kids, worldwide.\n\nWe ask all amateur radio stations to give this short time window to\npromote satellite operations with kids, by actually showing a kid how\nto make contacts via AO-51, providing a station to contact, or stepping\naside to allow others to make contacts with the kids. During the event,\nplease limit contacts to stations that are operating with kids at the\nmicrophone. This should allow the kids to have a nice QSO and pass some\ninformation. Kids can tell their name, age, who is helping them operate\non AO-51, where they live, and other information about themselves.\n\nAO-51 will be configured in the following mode during the event.\nUplink:   145.880 MHz FM voice\nDownlink: 435.300 MHz FM voice\n\nSee http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/kd-rules.html on the ARRL\nwebsite for more Kids Day information.\n\nHave fun and enjoy AO-51!\n\n[ANS thanks the AO-51 Operations Committee for the above information]\n\n/EX\n\n\nSB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-361.05\nThank You and Season Greetings on Behalf of the HO-68 Team\n\nAMSAT News Service Bulletin 361.05\n  From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.\nDecember 27, 2009\nTo All RADIO AMATEURS\nBID: $ANS-361.05\n\nCEO of Amsat-China and HO-68 (XW-1) Project Manager Alan Kung, BA1DU\nwrote, \"On behalf of Amsat-China and the HO-68 amateur satellite pro-\nject Team, I would like to express my sincere thanks to all radio\namateurs who reported the communications status of HO-68 satellite\nin the past few days.\"\n\nAlan continued, \"I would also like to express my sincere thanks to\nall individuals and organizations for your congratulations.
