In addition, if you're a student who's also a licensed ham, you now have a good excuse for looking out the window or staring up at the sky: AMSAT has declared the first and third Tuesday of each month to be STOTA DAY - that's Students on the Air Day. Starting in March, students everywhere in the US will be encouraged to get out there and make as many QSOs by satellite as they can - and work as many satellites as they can. Have fun - just don't do this in the middle of class... unless your teacher approves, of course.
