Quote:  "If the your (sic) TubeSat application does not require two-way 
communications, a radio operator's license is not required"


Downlink frequencies available:  amateur 433 MHz 500 mW, "license-free" 902 - 
928 MHz or 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz, 100 mW - 1000 mW "selectable"

Last I knew, 902 - 928 MHz had no US or international allocation for satellite 
downlink use, the amateur downlink frequency conflicts with the US band plan 
(the launch company is US-based), and isn't the space-to-earth allocation at 
2400 - 2483.5 ONLY for amateur radio satellites?
