ARLA/CLUSTER: Interferencias no serviço de amador por satelite

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Interference to the Amateur-Satellite service

Nuttaporn Kaewkajay E22ICQ has posted a video that shows the problem
of interference in the Amateur-Satellite Service allocations in
Thailand

Terrestrial usage of frequencies reserved for the Amateur-Satellite
Service such as 145.800-146.000 MHz can result in the satellite
transponders being blocked and rendered useless.

E22ICQ holds a Thai Intermediate license that he received on July 27,
2012 (Thai year 2555 BE). In May 2012 Thailand had 246,959 radio
amateurs holding the entry level VHF license and only 717 Intermediate
and Reciprocal HF licence holders.

The reason for the lack of Intermediate licensees is because it has
been impossible to sit an exam. The Intermediate exam that was held in
Bangkok on May 19, 2012 was the first to be held in the country for
eight years, see
