FCC sets 2400-MHz date
 
The FCC has set December 19, 1994, as the comment date for a Notice
of Proposed Rule Making to convert a block of spectrum from federal
government to commercial use, including two UHF bands shared by
Amateur Radio on a secondary basis with the government.
 
The full text of the NPRM, released by the FCC on November 9,  is
available from ARRL Headquarters on the HQ BBS, at 203-666-0578, and
also from the ARRL Internet Infoserver, infoarrl.org (see October
1994 QST, page 43).  The file name is FCC94272.txt.
 
The proposal would allocate 2390 to 2400, 2402 to 2417 (both shared
by amateurs), and 4660 to 4685 MHz to the Fixed and Mobile Services.
The FCC is required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
to adopt rules for such a reallocation by February 10, 1995.
 
The FCC said it received a number of responses to its Notice of
Inquiry on the proposed reallocations, including formal comments
from ''the amateur community'' (primarily the ARRL).  The reply
comment date on the NPRM is January 3, 1995.
 
More information was in October QST, page 83, and in December QST,
page 87.
