[amsat-bb] Re: Need your support to track F-1 CubeSat

[John Spasojevich]

In the states ham bands ate under constant pressure from commercial
intetests on the FCC for reallocation. Having those birds up there proves
the need and helps stave off reallocation. If we leabe them unused they
will go away. If I could launch a cube sat for my experimental interests it
would use ham bands and may only send back tlm. So am I prohibited from
that?
