US Hams writing to their Congress members should also address the issue of
the internationally-protected 435 - 438 MHz Amateur-Satellite allocation. If
the bill passes and the 420-440 MHz band is re-allocated in the US, a
conflict with the ITU will arise. If this is not resolved, all amateur
satellites with 435 - 438 MHz downlinks will be required to shut off their
UHF transmitters when they transit US territory. US satellite operators will
no longer be permitted to uplink on HF. This will have the effect of killing
most amateur satellite activity.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Between online voting, ARRL support and Commercial Users (PD, FD, SO,
EMS) who must replace their radios by 1 January 2013 then again should this
pass there is a not a lot of support to pass the Bill as written. 
However, without more licensee's voicing their concern the bill will pass.

NPSTC states the Bil needs to be Amended.
