The July/August 2002 AMSAT Journal has a copy of the waiver on page 25, dated April 19, 1974. At the time of the construction of the satellite, there was no separate amateur satellite service. By the time of the launch, there was, and it was 435-438 only, hence the waiver. 73, Drew KO4MA _

I went back in my copies of the AMSAT Newsletter (I have virtually all of them starting with Volume I, Number 2, dated October 1969 - I joined AMSAT the 2nd month of the organization's existence) and the only mention of a waiver was that due to the control requirements that a waiver was requeste

The primary problem is that the OSCAR VII inputs are now in the weak signal portions of the "band plans". With the proliferation of FM activity the weak signal portions have been compressed. It is unrealistic to even think of "blaming" the weak signal operators for interfering with OSCAR VII o

maybe the best one can do is to send QSL cards noting the time/freq/sat/mode to the ops. Of course this assumes that their callsign can be understood - Original Message - From: To: Sent: Sunday, September 13, 2009 2:46 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] accidental satellite ops > > > > I notice

Actually Larry that was the band plan back in 1974.  Who would think we would still have it 35 years later.  The satellite is older than many the the ops.  Looking foward the the "rebirth" of AO-40 (sobsob). 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle a Pacific Subject: Re: [amsat-bb]  accidental satelli

I heard this during the ARRL UHF contest back in August as well and found it amusing. They are correct, though, and not violating the bandplan as the AO7 uplink is in the weak signal part of the band-that is what happends when your satellites lives for 35 years-band plans change It would be ni

Certainly word needed to local clubs, vhf clubs, contesting clubs about this anamoly. Indeed they are oblivious to where their signal is going and how. Too little attention is paid to band plans. Good snooping Bob. See you soon on the birds. 73, Larry W7IN DN27 Montana -- see you soon on th
