Re: [amsat-bb] 1.2Ghz signal sources
1.2 GHz earth to space only: Is that due to FCC regs or is it just the evolved convention?
I am also curious to know what equipment satellite operators are using for L band?

The ITU Radio Regulations restrict the amateur satellite service allocation at 1260 MHz - 1270 MHz to earth to space only. Domestically, the FCC has implemented that restriction in Part 97.
I'm using an Alinco DJ-G7T and a 16 element yagi myself. It's not quite enough for horizon to horizon access, but I've made 54 QSOs on AO-92 in L/v mode with it.

It’s in the radio regulations, table of frequency allocations.

The key is that this is secondary allocation for us!
