SuitSat Lives!

The reports of SuitSat's swift demise were premature. According to Dad, the SuitSat is down on power for unknown reasons but continues to broadcast its modest signal. As a result, more sophisticated antennas, receivers and preamps are required to pick up the signal than would have been necessary if the SuitSat were at full output (~5W). Amateur radio operators around the globe have managed to tune in to SuitSat. One such ham has compiled a substantial collection of audio files of contact with the temporary satellite. He also has a slightly unnerving video of the deployment of the SuitSat ("what are you doing, Dave?").
