This was in the Amsat Satellite News (ANS)) that arrived a bit 
ago.  The second item -- VIE13_C5_03 -- to be taken under advisement 
at the IARU Region 1 meeting will I suspect be of interest to VHF 
weak signal operators.
 
Amateur Satellite Allocations on the Agenda at Vienna
 
In the coming months meetings will take place in both IARU Region 1
and Region 2 to discuss HF and VHF bandplans.
 
The IARU Region 1 2013 Interim Meeting in Vienna April 19-21 will
be discussing two proposals relating to the Amateur-Satellite Ser-
vice:
 
+ VIE13_C4_02 - Amendment to the 28 MHz Bandplan in relation to
the Amateur Satellite Service. This proposes the removal of the
downlink only restriction on the 29.300-29.510 MHz satellite
segment. See http://tinyurl.com/vienna2013-10M (http://uska.ch/)
 
+ VIE13_C5_03 - Increased Amateur-Satellite Service 144 MHz Usage.
This proposes the introduction of a new satellite downlink band
for CW/SSB transponders at 144.000-144.035 MHz:

A report on the ARRL website has requested input for the IARU Re-
gion 2 conference will be held later this year in Mexico.. At this
time it is not known if satellite allocations will be raised at the
meeting in Region 2. The ARRL item is posted at:

This page includes instructions to post comments via e-mail to the
ARRL as the IARU Member Society for the United States.
