Which FCC table is applicable to ...

[samudra.haque at gmail.com]

Thanks Dick, I guess a beacon would be just another carrier in an assigned band, but considering that FCC couldn’t give me a direct answer, I had to ask. 

 

What I am wondering (given the few pieces of information available) is historically, what were the mode/types of beacons that were downlinked in the HF range that were sent down from Satellites? 

 

What’s the principle behind the beacons coming down to Earth stations, through the ionosphere? I though they would get trapped by the ionosphere as being reflected ? It’s fascinating know how.

There are a number of satellite downlink bands. Which ones you're entitled to use it depends on the service you are providing. Amateur satellite bands are, of course, in the amateur bands. The ones that Noaa uses are in the middle meteorological bands.

Could anyone help me understand:  If  a satellite were to send a beacon transmission to a ground station, which FCC regulated sub-band would be applicable? 

 

All I found for ‘identification’ was: 

 

30.005-30.01

SPACE OPERATION (satellite identification)

FIXED

MOBILE

SPACE RESEARCH

 

That is 30.005-30.01 MHz !
