That previous reference wasn't a joke - sorry it went to the Russian page.
But here's the citation - in English:
From the Russian Federal Space Agency's Web site:
FEBRUARY 12 - " ... In addition, the cosmonauts switched on small satellite Kedr to be activated on April 12, so RF-amateur station all over the world could hear the signals from space.
"Kedr was developed under the RadioSkaf experiment. The satellite's name was adopted by Yu.A. Gagarin call sign in his historical flight, namely Kedr. The satellite's signal will be transmitted at radio amateur frequency of 145.95 MHz. Kedr has radio amateur call sign RS1S.
"RadioSkaf is implemented in the framework of UNESCO's student space education program."
