The operators of the DB0QI Munich, Germany ATV repeaters have been asked by the Federal Network Agency to remove the two 23 CM to 1276 MHz (analog) & 1291 MHz (digital) repeaters from service. This requirement was complied with by the operators on 4 March.
The 23 cm band is allocated to Radio Amateurs only on a secondary use basis.
With this step, the primary user should have trouble-free and safe operation: The German Aerospace Center (DLR) operates in Oberpfaffenhofen (near Munich) a control station for the Galileo satellite navigation (GPS) system.
Specifically, the ATV repeater affected the E6 channel of the navigation system to 1278.5 MHz.
Other ATV repeaters, and the 10 GHz channels in use, are not affected by this step, say the operators of DB0QI on their web site, db0qi.de
