The Ham-in-Space operation took place under the Amateur Satellite
Service rules, not the regular Amateur Service. The former allows the
use of only certain sections of certain amateur bands, generally those
that are allocated to the amateur service on a worldwide basis. The
220 Mhz amateur band doesn't exist outside of Region 2, so it is not
available to the Amateur Satellite Service.
