From: DJ Nise I'm going to (try to) fund a new project. I want to place a satellite with a full-sized 160m beam into orbit. ... How's that for a dumb idea?
Wonderful, only drawback is that 160m isn't allocated to the Amateur Satellite Service ;-)
Of course that's true of all the LF allocations. There was an opportunity a few years ago to fly a 136 kHz payload with a 1 km long antenna but the lack of Amateur Satellite Service allocations made it a non-starter.
BTW does anyone know if there are any papers relating to the Amateur Satellite Service being discussed at this weeks IARU Region 2 Conference in Mexico ?
