"Really? there is only 3 of them?
I had the impression there were a LOT more than that."
Hi Joe! There will be a few more soon. FM satellites are useful because
the ground equipment is fairly minimal (a duplex radio like a TH-D72, or a
pair of HTs). BUT the big drawback is they support only one user at a
time. The "linear" birds, of which there are many, support dozens of
simultaneous users. The drawback is it requires more sophisticated radio
gear because you need to use CW or SSB.
SO-50 is VERY easy to work. AO-85 (Fox1) is more challenging. The other
FM bird is rarely turned on.
FM satellites on Field Day are a real challenge -- too many folks trying to
work at one time.
Glad you had such a good time with the young ham. That's our future, and
your time investment will pay off dividends down the road.
73, Bob, WB4SON

Is Lora a candidate for satellites? How well does it handle doppler? Given
that it uses CSS(Chirp Spread Spectrum), it is claimed to be resilient to
doppler shift.
Does anybody have any further details or knowledge? My understanding is
that the RFM22B didn't use LORA protocol as used in the $50 sat.
I'd appreciate more details. We are trying to evaluate a radio technology
that is widely and cheaply available to be placed into a cubesat.

IARU Revises Satellite Coordination Guidelines to Align with WRC-15
Decisions
07/03/2017
Starting on August 1, the International Amateur Radio Union (_IARU_
(http://www.iaru.org/) ) will follow revised guidelines for satellite
frequency
coordination. Educational satellite projects have grown in popularity as
launch opportunities have increased. These satellites, constructed by
students
at universities and other institutions, generally have been licensed to
operate in the Amateur-Satellite Service, which the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) _Radio Regulations_
(http://search.itu.int/history/HistoryDigitalCollectionDocLibrary/1.43.48.en.1
01.pdf) define as having the ?
purpose of self-training, intercommunication, and technical investigations
carried out by amateurs?interested in radio technique solely with a personal
aim and without pecuniary interest.?
?The strong preference is for all satellites using spectrum allocated to
the Amateur and Amateur-Satellite services to operate under amateur licenses
and within the definition of the Amateur-Satellite service and the
service-specific Article 25 of the Radio Regulations,? IARU said in
announcing
the change. ?The IARU believes the definition is sufficiently broad to
encompass nearly all educational satellite projects that include giving
students
hands-on experience with radiocommunication and are conducted under an
amateur license.?
Some administrations have issued experimental licenses for such satellites
operating in Amateur-Satellite Service bands. The IARU has coordinated
these satellites as well, to reduce the possibility of harmful interference
that might result from uncoordinated operation. Since July 1, 2014, however,
it has not been possible to coordinate experimental satellites in the
144-146 MHz band, because of the high probability of harmful interference in
this heavily used band.
IARU will continue to coordinate satellites with combined amateur and
non-amateur missions. It will only coordinate a non-amateur satellite if an
administration directs in writing that it be operated in an Amateur-Satellite
band under an experimental or other non-amateur license.
The new guidelines bring IARU?s satellite coordination policies into line
with Resolution 659 at World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15).
The resolution noted that the use of 144-146 MHz and 435-438 MHz by
non-amateur satellites was not in accordance with the definition of the
Amateur-Satellite service in the Radio Regulations. Resolution 659 made
clear that
the spectrum needs of what are now called ?non-geostationary satellites with
short duration missions? should be met either within the service in which
the space station is operating, or within the Space Operation Service. If
new or upgraded allocations to the Space Operation Service are needed,
studies should be limited to the frequency ranges 150.05-174 MHz and
400.15-420
MHz, IARU said.
WRC-19 has been invited to consider steps to facilitate the deployment and
operation of nanosatellites and picosatellites. Such satellites generally
must use spectrum below 1 GHz for operational reasons.
A global federation of national associations of radio amateurs in more
than 150 countries, IARU has provided complimentary frequency coordination
services for amateur satellites for many years.
