Folks,
Coincidentally at the Symposium, Graham Shirville spent some time coordinating proposed frequencies to some satellites, including Eagle, and after a suggestion I had from from Drew KO4MA, I reiterated to Graham that it may be advantageous to propose S1 frequencies right down at the bottom 1MHz of the 2.4GHz satellite allocation.
802.11 specifies a 1MHz guard band at 2400 to 2401MHz for regulatory OOB emission reasons. Signals +/-11MHz from the centre must be at least 30dB down from the carrier. Channel 1 is at 2412MHz.
Taking into account Doppler, the recommended S1 coordinated frequencies will be at the bootom end of 2400MHz without the possibility of OOB emissions on Earth due to Doppler.
