Hi Bill,

I believe folks actually see the value and yes appreciate it. The point is "communication". The more information is shared the better and the more questions raised the better. It helps to fine tune the issue and allows for an exchange of information, clearing up misconceptions, and sometimes even points to issues that can be adressed :-) That's what this list is all about.

Graham - Thanks for your efforts with the IARU in starting the movement to get the additional satellite segment. I know a lot of work on your part and others on your team went into getting this to happen after many years of discussions. As I understand it, work is under way to harmonized this new segment with all regions so no need for satellite turn off-on issues.

I wish folks would see the additional satellite segment as a big plus in off loading a little pressure for 145.8 to 146 MHz instead of being concerned with possible negatives - which I don't see. Golly, we can use every little bit of spectrum.

Thanks again...Bill - N6GHz

My first thought was, Ummmm, Just for Region 2?

Hello a Sat goes everywhere! All Regions! Hello?

Shouldn't a rule in this service be for the whole world since the bird is going to be above the whole world.

What is a new bird going by these new laws shut off when above 1 or 3?

Duh?

Interesting... Does anyone else find it odd (or possibly irresponsible) to put a satellite allocation right up against the band edge. Didn't they consider Doppler shift? That renders the lower 3+ khz of a 25 khz slice unusable. Or is this only for NSS use?
