<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">This morning I spoke with Kimberly Baum, the Chief Engineer in the Satellite Division, and based on the outline of our content, she believes involving OET and the International Satellite Bureau in the meeting would be a good idea. <br><br>Kimbery is going to have CurTrisha Banks get in touch with me about dates and times. <br><br>I know it's challenging with participants in the UK and Australia. I apologize in advance for what will most likely be an ugly hour for Jan King and Anshul Makkar. <div><br></div><div>I emphasized microwave spectrum defense as necessary for the amateur satellite service, with some specific examples. I think we should have a list ready to go with additional examples. I cited something we wrote about in a filing (space-space links at 3GHz) and said 5 GHz, 10 GHz, and 24 GHz were all necessary for us to be able to move forward with high speed digital designs. <br><br>I stated our position that we accept the challenge and opportunity of full compliance with Debris Mitigation. I explained that we intend to use the regulatory relief for public domain carve-out work in ITAR/EAR that we've achieved over the past year in order to continue a long history of innovation. <br><br>Kimberly said there may be more than one meeting. <br><br>I made it clear that we needed and wanted guidance from the FCC on some of the non-traditional orbital proposals we are working on, and that we were dedicated to increasing international goodwill, education, and citizen science with modern engineering and systems work. <br><br>It was a brief but productive meeting, and I'm more than relieved to get the scheduling underway.<br><br>Very special thanks to Daryl Hunter (cc'd) who enabled this phone call with a very nice email introduction to Kimberly Baum. <br><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">-Michelle W5NYV</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
