Default orbiting space suit on 145.99

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.
