That previous reference wasn't a joke - sorry it went to the Russian page.

But here's the citation - in English:

>From the Russian Federal Space Agency's Web site:

FEBRUARY 12 - " ... In addition, the cosmonauts switched on small satellite Kedr
to be activated on April 12, so RF-amateur station all over the world could hear
the signals from space.

"Kedr was developed under the RadioSkaf experiment. The satellite's name was
adopted by Yu.A. Gagarin call sign in his historical flight, namely Kedr. The
satellite's signal will be transmitted at radio amateur frequency of 145.95 MHz.
Kedr has radio amateur call sign RS1S.

"RadioSkaf is implemented in the framework of UNESCO's student space education
program."
