[amsat-bb] Objects from PSLV C45 launch identified

[Devin L. Ganger]

Regarding AlSat 1 and its APRS payload, I thought that 145.825 MHz was the accepted frequency for all APRS on satellites. So I'm curious how that qualifies as not coordinated if they're following established procedure?

Thanks in advance for any additional knowledge you can share,
