AMSAT-UK participate in OfCom Microwave Spectrum joint response

AMSAT-UK, participating in a joint response with the Radio Society of Great Britain, UK Microwave Group, and the British Amateur Television Club, commented on the British OfCom's Spectrum Packaging and Auction of the 10GHz, 28GHz, 32GHz and 40GHz Bands.

Presenting their credentials, the RSGB noted they are recognised as one of the leading organisations in the world in the field of amateur radio. Also acknowledged were contributions on Amateur Satellite data from international AMSAT Societies as part of a broad team effort.

In respect of the 10GHz band the Amateur Radio comments noted, "We remain profoundly disappointed that this band is on offer. Whilst the document is a useful insight into Ofcom’s latest thinking, it in no way answers our fundamental concerns which in particular threaten leading edge international 10GHz Amateur Satellite developments. We look forward to a fuller response in respect of our original consultation input."
