The Space Station crew has to dispose of an old space suit, so they
are going to use it for an experiment. It's been equipped with a radio
transmitter to broadcast greetings, data, and a slow scan TV image on
145.99 MHz. The batteries should last for a few days. Plan is to
jettison the suit Feb 3.

According to one of the links, the transmitter output will be half a
watt.
