Amateur Radio Geosync Satellite Activity on 26E

[Titanium]

Ran across this post by TS Reader about amateur ops running video on the new 26E satellite Ku transponder.

"Es'hail-2 at 26 degrees east is a Ku/Ka-band comsat which also has an amateur radio payload with an 8 MHz S-band to Ku-band transponder. Many users are running H.265 video in just 250 k-symbols!"

Activity shown here: QO-100 Wideband Spectrum Monitor

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to watch any of the video online. But you can listen to the SSB and CW signals on the narrow band transponder. I've been listening since it went live. Very interesting to hear what the guys are using for equipment. Wish we had something like that here.

Why can't we use the freq, for 24 GHz uplink and 10 GHz downlink?

Is this legal under FCC part 97?

Don't we have the resources to do in this country?

Amazing that other side of globe now have ham radio geo sat in place. Lucky for them!

Can we do it in our country?
