Answer Notes
Under FCC Part 97.207, the specific UHF amateur bands authorized for space station operations are the 70-centimeter band (435 to 438 MHz) and the 13-centimeter band (2400 to 2450 MHz).
The 33-centimeter band (902 to 928 MHz) is not authorized for space station transmissions. Distractors containing the 33-centimeter band can be immediately eliminated, leaving only the correct combination of 70 centimeters and 13 centimeters.
