Hi Trevor,
Thanks for the links...the Administrative Council Minutes have some particularly interesting items for us. It is good to see that a 50MHz worldwide satellite service allocation (hopefully for up and downlinks) is now top of their list of priorities and satellites are also be recognised in next year's World Amateur Radio Day

7.1.4. The Administrative Council reviewed the priorities and strategy regarding future WRC agenda items related to amateur radio. The following priorities were established: a harmonized allocation including amateur-satellite at 50 MHz, a wider harmonized allocation at 160 meters, expansion of the 10 MHz amateur allocation and a worldwide, secondary allocation of approximately 150 kHz at 5 MHz.
10.6. In light of the anniversary of the launch of OSCAR 1 in December, 1961 and the launch of OSCAR 2 in June, 1962, the Administrative Council selected the phrase, “Amateur Radio Satellites: Celebrating 50 Years in Space” as the theme for World Amateur Radio Day, 18 April 2012.
