ARLB101 2400-MHz comments filed
 
The ARRL has filed comments on an FCC notice of proposed rule
making, in ET Docket 94-32, a proposal to reallocate a block of
spectrum from federal government to commercial use.  Some of that
block includes parts of the 2400-MHz band shared by Amateur Radio on
a secondary basis with the government.
 
The ARRL asked that the Amateur Service be given primary allocation
status at 2402 to 2417 MHz, and that it be given at least co-primary
status at 2390 to 2400 MHz.
 
The League also said that because a previous government study had
recommended the 2400 to 2402 MHz segment for amateur use, it would
be desirable to make the entire segment 2390 to 2450 MHz amateur
primary.
 
The ARRL also said, in a 29-page Comment, that any fixed or mobile
service station that is granted an assignment at 2390 to 2400 MHz,
''must be'' required to protect the Amateur Service from interference
and must tolerate any interference received from amateur stations.
 
The League requested that the FCC not make any additional
allocations in the 2390 to 2417 MHz band and, instead, grant Amateur
Radio primary allocation status in that band.
 
More information was in January, 1995 QST, page 91.  The reply
comment deadline in this docket is January 3, 1995.
