This from William Leijenaar, PE1RAH:
Dear AMSATs,
I just got a message from the India Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) that they will switch my
transponder of and switch over to the Indian
Transponder.
The switch over will be done at December 21 on 4:40
UTC time.
To know what transponder is switched on please listen
for the beacon that is active. Each transponder has a
different beacon, see below:
Indian transponder - unmodulated carrier on
145.936MHz.
Dutch Transponder - CW message on 145.860MHz.
Many thanks for all your reports,
I hope you enjoyed my transponder in space.

This from the AO-51 Command team:
January 2006 Amsat Kid's Day on AO-51
Amsat-NA, the AO-51 Command Team, and the AO-51 Operations Team
will sponsor Kid's Day on AO-51 on January 8, 2006. The event
will run from approximately 0100 UTC 8 January until 0345 UTC
9 January. The event is open to all kids, worldwide. We ask
all amateur radio stations to give this short time window to
promote satellite operations with kids, by actually showing a
kid how to make contacts via AO-51, providing a station to contact,
or stepping aside to allow others to make contacts with the kids.
During the event, please limit contacts to stations that are
operating with kids at the microphone. This should allow the
kids to have a nice QSO and pass some information. Kids can tell
their name, age, who is helping them operate on AO-51, where they
live, and other information about themselves.
AO-51 will be configured in the following mode during the event.
Please note the change in the uplink frequency for the event.
The PL tone will be turned off for the event.
Uplink: 145.880 mhz FM voice
Downlink: 435.300 mhz FM voice
The digital transponder on 435.150 will be turned off during
the event.
See http://www.arrl.org/FandES/ead/kd-rules.html on the ARRL
website for more Kids Day information.
Have fun and enjoy AO-51!

SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.
Uplink: 145.850 MHz (67.0 Hz PL tone) (See below for operating
procedures)
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml
(not up and running currently)
There have been unconfirmed reports on the amsat-bb remailer that SO-50
has
shifted downlink frequency as much as 5khz up. This both from Europe.
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The
order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater
on and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.
