LituanicaSAT-1 FM transponder active all weekend

The LituanicaSAT-1 team have announced the FM transponder should be
active during the weekend of May 17-18, 2014.

Dear radio amateurs,

I would like to notify that a long term testing of LituanicaSAT-1 FM
transponder is planned for this weekend starting from May 17, 04:30
UT. The transponder will remain active for the whole weekend provided
that battery voltage does not reach unsafe levels. As always your
reports are very welcome. Please send them and any questions you may
have toly5n  qrz.lt.

LY1LM, LY5N

Frequency are approximately 435.1755 MHz (+/- 10 kHz Doppler shift)
for the downlink and 145.950 MHz for the uplink with 67 Hz CTCSS.

The tiny satellite is just 10x10x10 cm with a mass of 1.090 kg yet it
has a VGA camera and a 145/435 MHz FM voice transponder, designed and
built by Lithuanian radio amateurs.

The prototype of the FM repeater has been operating in the home of its
designer Žilvinas Batisa LY3H in Elektrėnai, Lithuania.
