IARU praise WRC-15 result on non-Amateur satellites

The ARRL report the IARU has praised the favorable WRC-15 result
regarding the use of Amateur Radio bands for Non-Amateur satellites

The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) has welcomed the
exclusion from consideration of all existing Amateur and
Amateur-Satellite frequency allocations for potential use by
non-amateur satellites. World Radiocommunication Conference 2015
(WRC-15) last month in Geneva recommended an agenda item for the next
WRC in 2019 involving spectrum studies for short-mission satellites
that removes from consideration the Amateur-Satellite allocations at 2
meters and 70 centimeters.

“This is an excellent result for the amateur services and clearly
shows that non-amateur satellite constructors need to consider
spectrum other than the very limited and congested segments that are
available for amateur satellites at 144 MHz and 435 MHz,” said IARU
President Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA.

WRC-19 Agenda Item 1.7 calls on delegates “to study the spectrum needs
for telemetry, tracking and command in the space operation service for
non-GSO satellites with short duration missions, to assess the
suitability of existing allocations to the space operation service
and, if necessary, to consider new allocations, in accordance with
Resolution COM6/19 (WRC-15).”

Resolution COM6/19 specifies 150.05-174 MHz and 400.15-420 MHz as the
frequency ranges that may be considered for possible new allocations.

One factor the conference considered in deciding on those particular
frequency ranges was that, contrary to the provisions of the ITU Radio
Regulations defining the Amateur and Amateur-Satellite services, “some
non-amateur satellites have used frequencies for telemetry, tracking
and command in the frequency bands 144-146 MHz and 435-438 MHz which
are allocated to the Amateur-Satellite Service.”
