Quote: "If the your (sic) TubeSat application does not require two-way communications, a radio operator's license is not required"
Downlink frequencies available: amateur 433 MHz 500 mW, "license-free" 902 - 928 MHz or 2.400 - 2.4835 GHz, 100 mW - 1000 mW "selectable"
Last I knew, 902 - 928 MHz had no US or international allocation for satellite downlink use, the amateur downlink frequency conflicts with the US band plan (the launch company is US-based), and isn't the space-to-earth allocation at 2400 - 2483.5 ONLY for amateur radio satellites?
