[amsat-bb] Could this be Sirius trouble?

[Mike Gilchrist <kf4fdj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please take a look at this story.  I didn't realize the plan to broadcast 
satellite radio to earth used these frequencies.

The satellite radio industry uses an adjacent frequency to deliver its 
service, using 2.32 to 2.34GHz. The unlicensed band, 2.4-2.483GHz, is only 
55MHz away from the upper end of the licensed band, Sirius officials say, 
and could possibly overlap. As such, Sirius is asking the FCC to reduce the 
wattage of those unlicensed devices, to 8.6 u V/M, or the wattage gadgets 
expel to transmit their 2.4GHz signal.
