Hello Bob,
Let me clarify: there is no expectation of privacy in the amateur radio
service, and commercial use is prohibited.
My privacy comments were aimed at your satellites tracking cellular
phones and other consumer-type radios. However, I'll leave it at that,
as this forum is dedicated to amateur radio in space.
Bad guys using our satellites for nefarious purposes, as W2RS mentions
in a reply, is definitely something that should concern us.
