[amsat-bb] Oscar Sub Band Freq Infio

[KA9QJG]

Hello from Don KA9QJG   Ham for over 40 yrs.  Hope Everyone is staying Safe
and Healthy..  I hope its ok to change the ongoing thread.. I have heard
some New Hams using the Oscar sub bands for FM Simplex.  Below Is the ARRL
Band Chart Now   Reads  New 

 


144.30-144.50

New OSCAR subband

 


145.80-146.00

OSCAR subband

 

They are using Freq 144.315 FM Simplex. One was telling a story over 25 yrs
ago they were using this Freq and a complaint was made to the FCC He got a
Letter from the FCC  . And He called respond the complaint and told the FCC
that this was the Old Oscar Sub band that had not been used since the
sixties Sats were Not up and working anymore.   And the FCC Said do not
worry about the complaint.   So after listening to all this on 144.315 over
a long time I thought the best place to get a real answer would be here. 

 

Thanks everyone Please Stay Safe and Healthy

73 At 73     Be careful Old Age is catching LOL
