[sat] Fwd: [amsat-bb] TubeSats: a victory?

[Patrick]

Von AMSAT-BB, Mailingliste der Amateurfunk-Satelliten-Organisation.

Es gab Bedenken auf AMSAT-BB, dass die mitgelieferten Transceiver/Modems
nicht lizenzfrei betrieben werden dürfen. Ich hab dazu schon bei
jemandem angefragt, der professionell mit Funkrecht zu tun hat.
Vielleicht wissen wir dann mehr.

Jedenfalls ein wichtiger Punkt beim Gespräch mit IOS.

Well, it appears that someone got through to Interorbital Systems:  as of
today, they are no longer including a transceiver in the TubeSat kit, the
TubeSat web page clearly states that licensing is required, and "for
information about commercial operations from space", directs viewers to
contact the FCC. (They're still a little technically borderline on some of
their info, but WAY better than claiming that they're license-free!)

They even include a link to the IARU Amateur Satellite Specification
document (under "information about obtaining the required amateur radio
frequency allocation").

Interestingly, the price hasn't changed...
