Excerpts of ITU radiocommunication texts concerning
the amateur service and amateur-satellite service

	Amateur and amateur-satellite are fully recognized radiocommunication services defined in the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).

	The 1963 World Administrative Radio Conference created Footnote 284A, reading: “In the band 144-146 Mc/s, artificial satellites may be used by the amateur service”. The amateur-satellite service was created and given frequency allocations at the 1971 Space WARC. To date, over 
40 satellites have been designed, constructed and operated by radio amateurs.

This fascicle contains reprints of selected parts of the Radio Regulations, and ITU-R questions, recommendations and a report concerning the amateur and amateur-satellite services. It is intended to concentrate in one volume all ITU texts concerning these services.

This volume will thus be useful for national services in charge of radio-frequency spectrum management. It is also intended for radio amateurs wishing to keep abreast of the status of the amateur services from the standpoint of the Radio Regulations and Recommendations in force.
