And, how would you like to receive a call from an orbiting space suit?

>SUITSAT:  On February 3rd, astronauts plan to hurl an old spacesuit 
>overboard from the International Space Station.  The disembodied 
>suit, nicknamed "SuitSat," will proceed to circle Earth, 
>transmitting a radio message which anyone can hear using a police 
>scanner or a ham radio tuned to 145.990 MHz FM.  This strange 
>experiment is a test of a sensible idea--that old spacesuits might 
>be transformed into useful satellites. Would you like to listen to
