[VHFcontesting] 3456 MHz

[nosigma at aol.com]

3.1 to 3.55 covers a lot of radar frequencies used by the military and FAA for ATC, surface search and landing aids along with some telemetry.  When I request spectrum use in that region from FASFACVACAPES I usually end up not getting the full bandwidth I want due to the large number of other DOD and FAA users crowded in there.  About 6mo ago I filled out a DoD questionnaire re opposition of the auction.  I was just one of many many DOD users who did so.

I would not be surprised if the auction doesnt happen or if it does the 5G users get limited power/bandwidth  have to work around the existing users.  Lots of existing RF infrastructure in there.

Ham is a tiny tiny low power slice.  If our voices are heard we will probably keep what we have.

 I read, somewhere, a few weeks ago, that 3456 would be auctioned in December of 2021. (If you haven't noticed, it takes the FCC forever to do anything) The military is staying. Are we? Does anybody know?

Yes, what Alex wrote.

This auction was for some 22,000+ 'chunks' (10 MHz, unpaired, if I read correctly) of spectrum in geographically defined area in the 3.55-3.65 GHz band. The bidding concluded yesterday.

Excruciating detail available at https://www.fcc.gov/auction/105

As Alex noted _this_ auction does not appear to impact access to amateur radio's secondary allocation from 3.3-3.5 GHz BUT, the expected future FCC actions/auctions for 3.1-3.55 GHz remain likely to impact.

73, JK
