On Friday 6th April a joint response was submitted by RSGB, AMSAT-UK, UK Microwave Group and the British Amateur Television Club to the European Commission Green Paper on Satellite Navigation Applications.

The Galileo Global Positioning System, expected to be fully operational between 2010-12, will make use of 1260-1300 MHz. This is a key segment of the Amateur 23cm band used for ATV, Repeaters, Satellites, EME and weak signal terrestrial communications.

The response document can now be seen on the web at http://www.g3psm.net/07_04_06_RSGB_Response_to_Galileo_Green_Paper.pdf
