Greetings, all I'll be operating for the BSA JOTA event from the USS IOWA in San Pedro on 20 October from 1600 UTC to 2300 UTC. We'll be using the callsign NI6BB. Pass predictions indicate we can use FO-29, AO-27, and AO-7. I'll concentrate mostly on the linear birds, as I "kinda sorta" don'

Not sure I understand why 50 cubesats in orbit for 3 - 6 months doing atmospheric research will 'cause stress' on bandwidth. If you have a generous 20kHz spacing to allow for +/- 10kHz doppler, then we have 1MHz of spectrum. OK, there are other occupants than need to be avoided but there are 3

The conclusion of the recent WRC conference left open issues concerning the allocation of spectrum for pico and nano satellites. The requirement was identified as serious and will be an agenda item at the next WRC. In my opinion, this will put pressure on ham allocations from 5.8 GHz and down.
