    Hello All,

    At Friday 3 februari 2006 will be SUITSAT launched -
    from out of the ISS Space Station into space.
    In the Space Suit is a transceiver which send voice
    greetings in various languages.
    Also SSTV pictures (mode: robot 36) will be send
    down to earth.
    For those who received the SUISAT signals can
    request a special certificate!

    Probably you can receive Suitsat with a simple GP vertical.
    Better is an yagi (or trie both to switch).
    I hope amateurs will report here how strong they receive
    the suitsat signals (and what antenna you have used).

    More info you can see on amsat or:

    Please publish this message on websites (unique event!).
