- it should have a valid amateur radio call sign
if its to be allocated a frequency in the Satellite section of the Amateur Bands.
There is no present requirement for the use of licensed callsigns on the satellites. I wish I had learned than more than a week month before launch. That is why PCSAT-1 always comes up with the W3ADO-1 callsign. And we have to upload the PCSAT-1 callsign after every reset.
That said, however, they are required to abide by all of the other requirements of the Amateur Satellite Service.
And I am all for keeping it that way.
