Yes!
We will be turning on PCSAT2 for its last day in orbit this
Afternoon 2 hours after the EVA secures.  It will remain on 
Until Thursday afternoon when it will be secured for the last
Time.

We will be operating the Voice downlink during the morning
Passes over the East Coast for my class at the Naval Academy
And welcome other pre-arranged contacts.  Contact me.
