Trevor, Richard, et al,,
WARC 71 (actually WARC-ST 71) allocated no 23cm frequencies at all to the
amateur-satellite service. The present 1260-1270 MHz allocation dates from
WARC 1979.. Dave Sumner and (I believe) Paul Rinaldo were there and may have
some background info.

Anyone posted any KSC photos from our incredible trip yet?

Hi,
Thanks for reading this message. I have exchanged my FT-847 for an
IC-910H and now when I try to

the any people out there that
experience the same with this combination?
I tried with and without pre-amp, RHCP and LHCP
I believe it was Oscar-7.

space-com the system was never activated. A huge disappointment to
the members of the SBMS that designed and built it. Politics!
