A cursory read through the proposal and attached amendments shows that they have done their homework in all aspects. The various companies have been running experiments on air for the past 4 years. (experimental call signs are listed) Seems like they wish to run 20KW to a 10dBi antenna on transmit and have a simple vertical whip on the receive end. They also propose interference avoidance and frequency jumping.... kind of like ALE. Freqs used were 4.9, 10.2, 14.9 19.9 and 24.8 with a bandwidth of 10 KHz.
In their initial paragraphs they mention avoidance interference to amateur, marine and aeronautical. No mention of military in there that I saw. Again, this was my 30 minute read of the various sections which means that I was looking for pertinent information relating to us hams. I am sure there is more to be found and corrected with a further read. Just my $.02 for now.....73...Rick W5RH On Sat, Jul 15, 2023 at 5:54 PM JP Pritchard via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: > Thanks for the reply Bill.
