[amsat-bb] Re: Response to my request of information about EduSat from GAUSS team in Rome: Re: [CubeSat] Edusat operative or failure

2011-08-30 Thread Trevor . 
Yes I also understand that it is not an Amateur Satellite but an Educational 
Satellite operating with an experimental license on 435.750 MHz.

The website at 
http://www.gaussteam.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=94:edusat-english-version&catid=35:edusa&Itemid=195
 

Appears to list an Uplink as being in 145 MHz. I do not know if the command 
uplink station in Rome is operating in 145 MHz using an Amateur or Experimental 
license.

Ok,
   So it's not an amateur sat. It is also not an amateur 
"experiment",so why is it using amateur frequencies?
 I have read and reread the regulations governing the use of amateur 
frequencies and all I can find is a vague definition to the effect that 
the operators should be licensed amateur operators!
What is so different that the amateur satellite "service" can use any 
non disclosed frequencies and modulation techniques to any other "secret 
communication" systems that are expressly prohibited by the universal 
amateur regulations?

Just my annoyed response,

Hi Dom,

The 70 cm ops may well be perfectly legal.  The 2 m use perhaps not.

In Region three, 70 cm is shared. It's not exclusively ours. It's not 
even primarily ours, Hams are secondary users. As well as radiolocation, 
it's available for Earth Exploration Satellites.  Perhaps that is what 
this satellite qualifies as.


You can read about this on the RSM website here:
http://www.rsm.govt.nz/cms/tools-and-services/publications/public-information-brochures-pibs/pib-21-table-of-radio-spectrum-usage-in-new-zealand/2-3-new-zealand-table-of-allocation-1/2-3-5-uhf-band-300-3000mhz

Encryption is permitted (via an exemption) in Amateur bands if the 
signal is for satellite control.
