- I have a question regarding license classes required to use
- satellites such as RS-10. Any help is greatly appreciated.
- I am giving a talk on satellites to our club tomorrow
- evening, and inquiring minds will want to know...
-
- The uplink to RS-10 is on 2 meters. The downlink is on
- 10 meters. Is it legal for a No-Code Tech to transmit
- to the satellite and have his/her signal transponded to
- 10 meters? That is, can they use the satellite for QSOs?
-
- The answer to this is certainly not obvious to me. The no-code
- is licensed to use 2 meters, but not 10 meters. They are
- transmitting on 2 meters, which is perfectly legal, but
- they are also transmitting (indirectly by way of the
- transponder) on 10 meters which does not seem legal.
-
- I am a member of AMSAT and have numerous books covering the
- satellites, but this question seems to not be addressed
- anywhere! It seems like this would be one of the first
- things one would want to know.
-
- If you know the answer, please post it together with a
- source of where this is clearly spelled out (maybe buried in
- the FCC regs somewhere, hopefully...).
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
