[筑波大学「結」プロジェクト]

All,

ITF-2 (YUI-2) entered normal operation phase on Mar 25th JST.
Telemetry information and messages will be transmitted in this phase for
the achievement of main mission.


The details of the AWARD and SWL cards are as below,
AWARD：
With reference to the message on Jan 15th UTC,
the First 100 Reports from overseas stations are qualified for this award.
Only ten overseas stations sent report so far. Still enough award can be
issued.
Additionally, a souvenir, a sticky screen cleaner, will be given with this
award.
The design motif is the small antenna of ITF-2.

SWL cards:
Five designs are prepared. The stations which report more than five times
can receive all designs.
Also, the specially designed card will be presented to the stations which
received a signal from the small antenna,
because the reports are valuable to demonstrate the antenna in space. So
far, two stations succeeded in the reception.
