What bands? Starting at the bottom, just above the AM broadcast band there's 160 meters. Several more scattered through the HF bands to just above the CB band, 10 meters. Then you start into the VHF bands, 6 and 2 meters, the UHF bands, and then into the 1.2 Ghz areas. No idea what it is now, but at one time any thing above about 3 Ghz was sort of open range, if you could 'get there', you could do about whatever you wanted to. I'm sure that's changed by now, but wouldn't bet too much on it.
And just for grins. All the amateur licenses are for terrestrial radio stations except for the Extra class! With that license you can do extraterrestrial radio stations without getting an exemption (like the astronauts get). That's why I got one, I'm just waiting for them to call me for my ride on the shuttle. Then I can legally sign my call as 'space mobile'... "W5LZ/SP"!
