The following frequencies have been coordinated

Uplink       437,510 MHz

Downlink     437,510 MHz


Please note that all frequencies in the amateur satellite service are shared frequencies.
We have attempted to make the best possible selection for your project.

Please keep us informed of progress. Your main contact with us is Graham Shirville
(g.shirville@btinternet.com)

You are also referred to the ITU requirements for satellites. We have prepared an easy
reference document which is available on www.iaru.org/satellite, it will assist you to
comply with the ITU requirements for Amateur satellites.

Please also note the requirement to be able to control the satellite as set out in our
advisory paper “Controlling Satellites” available on www.iaru.org/satellite where you
also will find other useful information for satellites using the amateur bands.

While coordinating the frequencies noted above, we also note that use of frequencies
as described in your request for frequency coordination appears inconsistent with
numbers 1.56 and 1.57 of the ITU radio regulations.

RR 1.56 amateur service: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self-
training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that
is, by duly authorized [licensed] persons [individual natural people] interested in
radio technique solely with a personal aim [for themselves] and without pecuniary
interest [compensation].

(NOTE1: Explanatory terms in brackets are not part of the treaty text.),
(NOTE2: “ without pecuniary interest” means that you may accept free will donations of
goods and services, that is, with nothing required in return. However, you may not

reason.)
RR 1.57 amateur-satellite service: A radiocommunication service using space
stations on earth satellites for the same purposes as those of the amateur
service.

As the QB50 project is being notified by the Belgium authority any questions regarding
ITU Regulations should be directed directly to them via VKI.

Best wishes for a successful project. Please keep us informed of developments and
progress.
