It's time for another College Satellite night! Expect to hear many
Oscar capable NA college club stations on the air Thursday evening
Oct. 1st-2nd (NA local times) from 22:00 UTC to 0500 UTC for this
special event.
College clubs are getting priority on the QRP AO-51 repeater that
night (uplink: 145.880 MHz FM. downlink: 435.150 MHz FM). Please work
each college station but afford them the ability to take calls and
make as many QSOs as possible.
Club stations will also be on other birds so make as many contacts if
you can, on each bird. We have encouraged college stations to QSL all
the stations they work during the event as we (either through AMSAT or
a college group) are planning on creating an award for working college
club stations on satellite.
Make sure to e-mail or call as many hams that you know associated with
college ham radio clubs so that they will know about this special
event and get on the air - usage and NA-wide involvement is important.
While we are focusing on North American activity e-mail Dr. Jay
Garlitz, AA4FL to him know of interest and participation from other
parts of the globe.

Dont forget that tomorrow is College Satellite night! The event officially runs from 4pm until 12am. I personally will be up at the station around 3pm for the AO-27 pass.
Below is the list of all the passes for tomorrow, stop by the shack for just one or all of them!
SO-50,AO-07,AO-51, AO-27 and VO-52 are all voice satellites.
ISS (International Space Station) and NO-44 are packet satellites, although astronauts aboard the ISS will occasionally make voice contacts with the ground.
