We have not fully prepared for the onslaught and \nwe have only done a <<technical analysis>> that resulted from the \nassumption that Galileo was going to cause loss of L band. It is not in \nour political interests frankly for this understanding to be widespread \nbut now that it is, we might as well go ahead and do all of our \"worst \ncase scenario\" analysis in public.\n\nIt is my understanding that Argentina and the Netherlands have LOST \n2400-2450 for use by terrestrial radio amateurs because of interference \nfrom amateur radio operators (primarily BLOODY ATV) to 802.11 services. \nAmateurs have been told to stop transmitting in those bands. I need \nmuch more information.\n\nDO NOT SEND YOUR ANECDOTE HERE.\n\nPlease send to me DIRECTLY your personal, first hand knowledge of loss \nof 2400-2450 IN YOUR COUNTRY or any other country FOR WHICH YOU CAN \nPROVIDE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE. I have no interest whatsoever in rumor. \nI need facts. If this phenomenon is widespread, then the use of S \nband as an uplink is a useless argument to be having and the whining \ncan stop. ALL that was done in San Diego was a technical analysis. No \nlegal or political analysis has been done at all. We are not prepared \nto say \"This is what we are doing\". We are prepared to say \"This is \nwhat the technical folks came up with given the assumption of the loss \nof L band and the assumption that 9 cm would be politically \nunacceptable\". NOTHING ELSE should be assumed now. \n\nBut let me repeat (ad infinitum?), I am personally interested in \nmanaging the design and building of an instrument that accomplishes the \nAMSAT vision statement. If I find that we have essentially lost all \nmicrowave bands we have in the amateur satellite service that can be \nused effectively to support the vision statement (given engineering \ncomputation and \"circuit practicalities\"), I will lose interest in \nmanaging this whether it be an AMSAT political decision or an \ninternational frequency disaster which we have allowed to go unanswered \nin any substantive way. AMSAT-DL is the perfect vehicle to produce P3 \nspacecraft with our help where needed. We do not need to duplicate \ntheir efforts.\n\nDO NOT send your anecdote to this list. Send your FACTS to me, with \nsupporting evidence, so I can summarize what I believe the impact of \nthis to be for the AMSAT BOD.\n\nBob\nN4HY\n\n-- \nAMSAT VP Engineering.
