How about each day a new message that is part of a puzzle. So you have to catch at least one broadcast a day to solve the puzzle. It would create a little interest and make for some good practice. Keith N6ORS ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.or

No. Government allocations (within the US) are the responsibility of the NTIA. FCC only has jurisdiction over non-government allocations. Steve W3HF Aug 27, 2010 09:09:06 PM, mikef1...@buckeye-express.com wrote: >But ultimately doesn't all frequency allocation fall back on the F.C.C. I mean >

Correct. There will be legal problems in Europe as citizens (and amateurs) are not allowed to listen on frequencies that are not authorised in their countries. On 27-Aug-10 23:28, George Henry wrote: > Question: since there is no amateur radio allocation at 149.985, "we" > (hams) would be aski

Question: since there is no amateur radio allocation at 149.985, "we" (hams) would be asking the Navy, to whom the downlink frequency is allocated, to transmit one-way amateur communications thru this satellite, correct? Doesn't anyone else see potential legal problems involved here? George,
