RE: [amsat-bb] What are the HF satellite uplink/downlink bands?

["Reicher, James" <JReicher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, there are satellite bands available all over the HF spectrum,
starting in the 40 meter band (7.0 - 7.1 MHz), 20 meters (14.0 - 14.25),
17 meters (18.068 - 18.168), 15 meters (21.0 - 21.450), 12 meters (24.89
- 24.99) and, of course, 10 meters (actually the whole band, from 28.0 -
29.7).  See this link http://www.ntia.doc.gov/osmhome/allochrt.pdf

Now, as a matter of practice, I don't think we've ever actually used 40,
20, 17, or 12 meters for either and uplink or downlink, but the
allocations are there.

The ARRL is reporting 29.3MHz - 29.51MHz as the only satellite "area" in
the HF portion.  It says this is a downlink area.  I don't think this is
correct because I remember a 15 meter downlink on one bird and I know
there are 10m uplinks...

Hi,

Can anyone comment on what HF bands are allowed for satellite 
uplink/downlink?
