[amsat-bb] 9 cm band

[Paul Stoetzer]

Ev,

The amateur satellite service band at 3.4 - 3.41 GHz is only available
in ITU Regions 1 and 2, which makes it a little tricky for an orbiting
satellite since it is not available in ITU Region 3.

There was a Peruvian cubesat that planned to use it, but the project
was canceled. I believe there were discussions about using it on Eagle
(and maybe on AO-40 as well), but as it's not a worldwide allocation,
presumably that capability would have had to be disabled while the
satellite is over Region 3.

73,

Paul, N8HM
