Default A Space Suit with a 145.990MHz FM transceiver!

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 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 Suit Sat 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:
