Hi Hans,
thanks for reminding us the role of IARU for the amateur satellite
frequency coordination. However in the most recent years the number of
satellite launched by universities in the amateur bands is growing
faster and faster. Are all these satellites coordinated by the relevant
universities? Do you have a list of satellites already launched with an
indication of their compliance with IARU rules and possibly with ITU rules.
I do not know if any action is made by IARU, through its national
members, with respect to entities which do not fulfil these rules, and
the IARU Bandplans as well. It is important for IARU, in my
understanding to monitor the situation.

Frequency coordination for amateur radio satellites is provided by the IARU
through its Satellite Advisor, an official appointed by the IARU
Administrative Council, its top policymaking body. The IARU Satellite
Advisor is assisted by an Advisory Panel of qualified amateurs from all
three IARU Regions. The panel meets regularly via Skype to consider
amateur satellite frequency coordination requests for satellites planned for
operation on frequencies in the amateur service. The panel members often
provide advice and assist satellite builders with the selection of the
best possible frequencies to meet the objectives of their mission.
The Amateur Satellite Frequency Coordination request form has been updated
(Version 27) and is available for download from www.iaru.org/satellite. On
the IARU web satellite page there are also available a number of guideline
documents which will assist satellite builders, including a document on the
ITU requirements for Amateur Radio Satellites.
