that
exchanges music via a digi-singer. It is an outreach-oriented mission.

Isn't music transmission prohibited in the United States amateur radio

Hi Steve.
It's certainly one of the 3 or 4 types of content that is prohibited in the
UK.
I can't imagine that the Japanese would allow it either.
Probably OK as a file transfer, but not as analog FM on amateur radio
spectrum.
Hopefully if this is declared as one of the mission objectives in the
frequency coordination request
the applicants would have been advised against it and the application put on
hold.
On the other hand.....Imagine the payment due to the performers of the music
if the fee assessment is based on 'total audience in the broadcast area' !!
Could make the cost of the satellite seem insignificant.
Regards
David G0MRF

David,
Horyu-4 received IARU coordination (
http://www.amsatuk.me.uk/iaru/finished_detail.php?serialnum=434) and
includes a similar digisinger, programmed with the Japanese national anthem.
Here's a clip of it:

As for your last point, I would hope that any music they planned to upload
would be public domain!

Just to clarify the comment: "It's certainly one of the 3 or 4 types of
content that is prohibited in the UK."
The UK amateur radio license has not prohibited Music since 2006.
There is very little in terms of Content that is prohibited by the UK
license. The only specific Content prohibition that I recall is:
- a message, communication or other matter in whatever form that is grossly
offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character. [Notes (h)]
A copy of the current UK license terms and conditions can be seen at

The US regs at 47CFR97.113, especially the prohibitions on music,
broadcasting, and passing messages for hire date back to the earliest
regs when the commercial radio co's didn't want the competition. I
don't know when those were added but it was not at the very beginning,
since many stations with amateur license were known to broadcast music
and other programming once radiotelephone became practical. Plenty of
US "radio station lists" from pre-1925 are online now, but I've not
seen copies of the contemporary amateur radio rules. Would be
interesting to see when that stuff started.
I'm really not interested in hearing music on amateur radio, nor
broadcasting, beyond the exceptions the FCC has had to make in the US
rules. I can ignore music on the broadcast bands and satellite radio
and don't want to have to ignore it on the amateur bands, too!

I have edited out all non music related parts.
Part 97 : Sec. 97.113 Prohibited transmissions
(a) No amateur station shall transmit:
(4) Music using a phone emission except as specifically provided
elsewhere in this section; communications intended to facilitate
a criminal act; messages encoded for the purpose of obscuring their
meaning, except as otherwise provided herein; obscene or indecent
words or language; or false or deceptive messages, signals or
identification.
(c) No station shall retransmit programs or signals emanating from
any type of radio station other than an amateur station, except
propagation and weather forecast information intended for use by
the general public and originated from United States Government
stations, and communications, including incidental music,
originating on United States Government frequencies between a
manned spacecraft and its associated Earth stations. Prior approval
for manned spacecraft communications retransmissions must be obtained
from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Such
retransmissions must be for the exclusive use of amateur radio
operators. Propagation, weather forecasts, and manned spacecraft
communications retransmissions may not be conducted on a regular
basis, but only occasionally, as an incident of normal amateur
radio communications.

This is all a moot point as the BIRDS satellites are not built, owned,
or operated by United States hams. No FCC regulation can govern their
operation. Is this not similar to pirate radio stations that sit just
outside the U.S. territorial waters and transmit their radio shows that
can be heard stateside? They are only governed by ITU rules and not FCC
rules.
Rules around the world are different and what is allowed in one country
may not be allowed in another. That's just the way it is. The BIRDS can
do whatever is legal in their country and if they really wanted to make
it unavailable while over the United States to appease the FCC, they can
put an on/off switch based on GPS coordinates and then we would miss out
on the fun of receiving the satellite.
Could you just imagine if every builder of a satellite had to abide by
the rules of every country in the world that their satellite will pass
over or be in range to hear it? What a nightmare that would become.

How well does GPS work with satellites in LEO? (NavStars are in
higher orbit, right?) Is it accurate? You'd have to sort of do a
reverse bank shot thing because you're not dealing with the
satellite's position, but the position of its footprint. How would
that work? I see lots of math in someone's future! :-D
