[amsat-bb] Amateur Satellite Papers at IARU Region 1 Interim Conference

[Trevor]

There are a number of papers relating to the Amateur Satellite Service that
have been submitted by the RSGB to the IARU Region 1 Interim Conference which
will be held in Vienna from February 24 to 25th 2007.

The papers for the conference have been posted to

The preliminary version PDF is at:

The RSGB papers that will be of interest to the Amateur Satellite community
are: 

B01 - Increased Amateur Satellite Service 2 Metre Usage - RSGB 
      Proposes the segment 144.315-144.365 MHz for CW/SSB Linear Transponder 
      Downlinks
B02 - Bands above 275 GHz - RSGB 
      All proposed bands to be for Amateur Satellite Service as well.
B13 - Allocations at 3400 MHz - RSGB 
      Proposes Region 1 Amateur and Amateur Satellite allocation.
B14 - Microwave Spectrum Threats - RSGB 
      Details threats to our allocations
B15 - 23cms Bandplan - RSGB
      1240-1250 MHz
B16 - Amateur Satellite Service Spectrum
      Additional VHF and Microwave Satellite allocations

There is also a paper submitted by EDR - B22 - which proposes 144.630-144.660
MHz for Amateur Satellite downlinks. My personal view is that this in
unfeasable as it conflicts with bandplans in the rest of the world. I consider
the RSGB paper B01 144.315-144.365 MHz to be the better choice.
