[amsat-bb] Re: seeking examples of frequency bands used in amateur spacecraft

[Samudra Haque]

Thank you for the information - I am getting now interested in this area to
research what type of modes were used to communicate and the
observed/reported characteristics of operation in those bands. Might come in
handy when choosing subsystems to fly on future
nano-satellites/pico-satellites.

Thank you also: Arthur and John for your detailed replies.
