Topband: FCC HF actions

[Jon Zaimes AA1K]

Looks like we will be seeing more radionavigation signals in the 1900-2000 kHz segment:

"20. In order to protect the technical integrity of the AM Expanded Band, we are deleting from the U.S. Table the U.S. Government and non-U.S. Government secondary radiolocation allocation in the band 1605-1705 kHz.  We find that these radiolocation operations can be relocated to the band 1900-2000 kHz without significant impact to current operations.  Consistent with this action, we are removing the band 1605-1705 kHz from the Radiolocation Service Frequency Table in Section 90.103 of our Rules and deleting unneeded assignment limitations."

Also, in the table at the end, it only lists the amateur segment in the U.S. as 1800-1900. No mention (or footnote) of secondary use of 1900-2000 kHz. Is this a change or is there a footnote somewhere else that covers this?
