> It was July 1971 that AMSAT submitted the initial proposal to NASA.
Here is some information ANS received from Perry Klein, W3PK, who worked on
the proposal:
SB SAT @ AMSAT $ANS-219.06
AMSAT History: 40th Anniversary of First Synchronous Satellite Proposal
AMSAT News Service Bulletin 219.06
>From AMSAT HQ SILVER SPRING, MD.
August 7, 2011
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-219.06
July 24 marked the 40th anniversary of AMSAT's original SYNCART proposal
to NASA, in 1971, to fly a Synchronous Amateur Radio Transponder on NASA's
Applications Technology Satellite ATS-G. NASA's response to our proposal
appeared to be favorable, but unfortunately NASA cancelled the ATS-G
mission.
The SYNCART proposal is on AMSAT-DL's web site at for those who would
like to read it. It gives the justification why NASA should fly it for
free, listing a number of amateur experiments and applications, most of
which would still apply today.
The 1971 WARC on Space Technology was held around the same time
(June 7 - July 17, 1971, in Geneva). That's the ITU conference that
established the amateur-satellite service and allocated frequencies to it.
Several satellite manufacturers are now advertising that they host pay-
loads aboard their satellite platforms. Think how it would transform
amateur radio if we could get SYNCART packages aboard one or more of
them!

And just in time! John, K8YSE worked his number 1000 grid with Ron, VY1RM
last night on VO-52. Congrats John on joining a very small group to
accomplish
this.

The latest issue of the AMSAT-UK publication OSCAR News highlights the
US NTIA proposal to create a new ITU satellite service for CubeSats
and NanoSats.
The proposal seeks one or more frequency bands, totalling up to 10 MHz
of spectrum, to support command, control, and data relay for
nanosatellites and picosatellites performing a variety of functions.
It proposes that a study be undertaken after WRC 2012 so that the item
be placed on the preliminary agenda for WRC 2019. It is unclear where
the UHF spectrum for a new ITU service would come from.
Read the NTIA proposal 'Studies for identifying up to 10 MHz of
spectrum for space research service in the 400-2025 MHz range for the
operation of nanosatellites and picosatellites'.

Hi Daniel,

I will be fishing down near Rockport, TX, Sunday & Monday and will try to
make the late afternoon passes of AO-51. Sorry, but AO-27 and SO-50 are too
early in the day and I don't want to take the HT either on the boat or
wading :-)
Equipment will be just an FT-51R and Pryme whip antenna.
73,
Jerry, K5OE

Hi all!!
My wife suspects that John has IV caffeine and feeding tubes at the
operating position!
Definitely an awesome accomplishment.
