Their original 3u design included a transponder. Hopefully they will
overlook the boorish behavior and consider it for follow on projects.
Good luck and congratulations in advance on the deployment of F-1

Thanks for the update Thu.
I appreciate the work that you and the students from the FPT University have
put into this project.
I hope the deployment of F-1 and the other CubeSats will be a success and I
look forward to receiving the signals.

Or maybe they will be reallocated to them. They use them more than we do.
Maybe hams in your world own frequencies but in tge USA their use is a
privilege not a right.

Under what authority? They are licensed amateur radio operators, and self
training and education has always been a tenet of amateur radio, whether you
approve or not.
The level of discourse around here lately has been pretty dismal. If we are
judged by our behavior on this list (and we are), I'm not surprised so few
educational satellite programs want to work with us. The arrogance and
entitlement mentality is embarrassing.

Hello Vu,
Congratulations to you and your students. I can only imagine the thrill of
anticipating the release from the ISS of the physical evidence of your hard
work. We shared the same excitement when ARISSat-1 was released.
The F-1 telemetry program installed just fine. It will be my privilege to
receive and forward to you and your team F-1 telemetry. Hopefully you and
your students will learn a great deal about satellite engineering, assembly,
and operations. This telemetry information should prove useful to you in
the development of future missions.
Best wishes for remaining on the schedule for release, and for a successful
mission.
73,

In my world, hams have a RIGHT to properly use the frequencies that are
ALLOCATED for their use. And a RIGHT to complain when they are misused.

ARRL note the contribution of Michael Owen VK3KI (SK) to the
Amateur-satellite Service:
?Among the assignments that Michael drew at WARC-79 was to draft a
resolution to exempt the Amateur-Satellite Service from coordination
procedures that otherwise would have bogged us down in endless paperwork and
great expense. As an attorney it was just the sort of thing he was good at.
His work has stood the test of time, and it remains in effect to this day.
No good deed goes unpunished, so in 2003, he was brought back to Geneva as a
member of the IARU team to handle the rewrite of Article 25, the rules that
apply specifically to the Amateur and Amateur-Satellite Services."

In the states ham bands ate under constant pressure from commercial
intetests on the FCC for reallocation. Having those birds up there proves
the need and helps stave off reallocation. If we leabe them unused they
will go away. If I could launch a cube sat for my experimental interests it
would use ham bands and may only send back tlm. So am I prohibited from
that?

Betreff: [amsat-bb] Need your support to track F-1 CubeSat
Dear everyone,
According to latest news from JAXA, deployment of the 5 CubeSats to space by
the robotic arm of Kibo module on the ISS will be carried out on Thursday,
September 27. Here is the plan:
- First, 15h10 to 15h20: WE WISH and RAIKO from POD #1
- Second,16h30 to 16h40: TechEdSat, F-1 v? FITSAT-1 from POD#2
All time in UTC. The event is planned to be broadcasted live on the
following websites:
http://iss.jaxa.jp/iss/jaxa_exp/hoshide/library/live/
http://www.ustream.tv/nasahdtv
30 minutes after deployment from the station, F-1 will begin transmitting
beacon alternatively on its main and backup channels. Telemetry and beacon
data from F-1 contain critical information about the satellite?s health
(battery & solar cell voltages, temperature readings) and they are very
important to us, especially in the first week of operation. Thus, we would
like to ask the amateur radio community to help in tracking and receiving
data from F-1 CubeSat.
Here?s a quick summary of F-1? frequencies:
- 145.980 MHz: main channel, 1.0W RF output, FM, AFSK 1200bps, one
telemetry packet every 30 seconds, operates in the dark by default (but can
be commanded later to operate in sunlight as well)
- 437.485 MHz: backup channel, 0.2W RF output, FM, PWM CW beacon,
each beacon transmission lasts about 20 seconds then 60 seconds delay, only
operates in sunlight
More information and guide to download F-1 telemetry decoder can be found at
http://fspace.edu.vn/?page_id=27. Decoded data can be submitted to us via
the telemetry decoder or by sending to me directly (thuvt@xxx.xxx.xxxx audio
records are highly appreciated.
Please feel free to send me a message if there is any question. We would
really appreciate your kind support!

I, for one, would oppose the launch of, and object to your Cube Sat's
use of amateur frequencies, if it used those frequencies for non-ham
purposes.
Perhaps you should read ITU Radio Regulations ? Article 1, specifically
parts 55 thru 57:
1.55 Space research service
A radiocommunication service in which spacecraft or other objects
in space are used for scientific or technological research purposes.
1.56 Amateur service
A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self-training,
intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by
amateurs, that is, by duly authorized persons interested in radio
technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.
1.57 Amateur-satellite service
A radiocommunication service using space stations on earth satellites
for the same purposes as those of the amateur service.
We need to be VERY careful to maintain a DISTINCTION between 1.55 and
1.57. Otherwise, all those who currently operate under 1.55 can simply
start freely using our frequencies and claim to be operating under 1.57
without let or hindrance. To say that whatever you do, if you simply
claim it is "self-training" or "technical investigation" you get free
use of the ham bands is to open a particularly nasty can of worms.

Drew responded very appropriately. I would suggest that no further
reply's are needed to Gus on the subject and that this discourse end
lest we get into another waste of time and bandwidth.
Good luck to all upcoming ISS CubeSat launches.

I fail to see where your references prohibit such activity as long as hams
are involved. Would a school ham radio club be prohibited ? I think the
main issue is that these birds don't satisfy YOUR personal interest. Just
as ragchewing and dx-ing don't satisfy the schools exerimental goals. So
maybe helping them build a transponder would satisfy both. But then its not
HEO so maybe just let the freqs die until funding is there for the
appropriate use. By then thiae freqs will have long since been reallocated
Its beating a dead horse. That want HEO dx-ing and ragchewing are free to
build one. You don't need AMSAT anywhere do do that. Channel your energy
into such a constructive project. I seriously doubt the complaining will
get anything done.
