I did indeed mean 2390-2400 MHz, but we need to ensure 2400-2402 is protected as well so it can be used as an uplink if necessary.
The tragedy is that currently there are no common World-Wide Amateur S band segments below 2400 MHz , for instance I believe Japan only has 2400-2450 MHz.
Hopefully the ARRL and national societies will encourage their local regulators (FCC etc) to push for a World-Wide Amateur and Amateur Satellite allocation below 2400 as it's clear the band above 2402 MHz is becoming unusable.

I think you mean 2390-2400 ;)
Which will leave us out in the cold, unless it's used only for downlinks. We only have 2400-2450 here :(
