Dear AMSAT friends:
The advanced communications package recommended to the AMSAT BOD will use two uplinks, L band and 3.4 GHZ. It has a proposed C band downlink.

Hi Bob, N4HY
In Region-1 many countries including Italy are not allowed to use 3.4 GHz but in your report to EAGLE CSVHFS you writes:
" Some Things to Note # 3c
If we go ahead and use 9 cm for down-link then Amateurs would still be able to listen even from Region-1,even without a rules change (albeit illegally!) "
In my opinion the above proposal to use 9 cm albeit illegally for down-link seams to be viable.
Why to use instead the 9 cm band for uplink and make the life difficult for many of us in Region-1 not having the previlege to live in Region-2 and Region-3 ?
