Hi Lisa: I will have the swordfish on Thursday night and the shrimp and scallops on Friday night. However, I may be quite late getting in on Friday (8:00-9:00) so let us hold off on ordering until I arrive Thursday night. Thanks, Rev

[ARRL-ODV:9057] 2390-2400 MHz
by W3KD＠aol.com 09 Jul '03

09 Jul '03

Greetings. Below are the title and URLs for an FCC 4th NPRM in Docket 00-258, which proposes to relocate certain Federal facilities that are displaced from 1710-1850 MHz in order to accommodate 3G wireless systems. Among other bands in which these systems are to be redeployed is in the 2390-2400 MHz band. This has been known to us for some time. The FCC proposes to maintain the Primary Amateur allocation in that band, but we will have to share with Feds, as was the case previously. The only concern is that the Federal uses are apparently aeronautical mobile stations. Sharing the pain are unlicensed PCS, which will no longer be allowed in the 2390-2400 MHz band, and the FCC also proposes to "undo" its recent allocation of 2385-2390 MHz to Wireless Communications Services. We now have a concern, due to the domino effect of this jockeying around of spectrum, about where companies like MicroTrax etc., which we successfully fought off at 2300-2305 MHz, might want to be reaccommodated. This NPRM has some impact on the Minute 56 Study that is to be presented to you at the Board meeting by First Vice President Harrison, but other than as above noted, very little of the NPRM is a surprise, and it should not substantially reduce the utility of 2390-2400 MHz for the Amateur Service. 73, Chris W3KD AMENDMENT OF PART 2 OF THE COMMISSION'S RULES TO ALLOCATE SPECTRUM BELOW 3 GHZ FOR MOBILE AND FIXED SERVICES TO SUPPORT THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW ADVANCED WIRELESS SERVICES, INCLUDING THIRD GENERATION WIRELESS SYSTEMS.

[ARRL-ODV:9056] Missing ODV's

Hi All: Just a heads up. I've noticed that I did not receive several recent ODV posts. It looks like it is over the past week to 10 days, but I'm not sure whether it goes back further. The most recent one that I can tell I did not receive was "ARRL-ODV:9046] 7 MHz results put simply" that Dave sent out, and I would not have known about it if Henry had not commented about it in ODV:9055. It was a good one, too, so I'm glad I spotted it. You might check and watch for this just in case you are effected, too. 73, Rick - K5UR cc: Don Durand

7 MHz results put simplyDave, thanks for th recap of the 7-MHz WRC-03 decisions. Your recap came in good time as I was preparing my notes for a club meeting on Tuesday night, July 15, 2003. Again, thanks! 73, Henry - WD4Q ----- Original Message ----- From: Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ To: arrl-odv Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 9:46 AM Subject: [ARRL-ODV:9046] 7 MHz results put simply After a telephone conversation with a Board member this morning it seemed to me that it might be useful for you to have a simple recap of the 7-MHz WRC-03 decisions. I'll ignore a few footnotes that have no effect on the usefulness of the band to U.S. amateurs Bear in mind that there were three parties of interest: amateurs, broadcasters, and the military (fixed and mobile). For that reason I am including a description of what happens at 7300-7450 kHz so you have a complete picture. 7000-7100 Remains exclusively amateur and amateur-satellite, worldwide. A Resolution that absolutely prohibits broadcasting from the band was retained. I mention the Resolution because it is absolutely unique in the Radio Regulations; no other HF service has such protection against incursion by broadcasting. 7100-7200 Broadcasting in Regions 1 and 3 ceases as of 29 March 2009. When the summer 2009 HF broadcasting schedule is developed, the stations that previously used this band will be coordinated elsewhere. The band becomes available to amateurs in Regions 1 and 3 on that date (although some administrations may decide to permit earlier entry on a non-interference basis). By footnote, the band also becomes available to fixed and mobile in some Region 1 and 3 countries (none in Region 2 or Europe). The band remains exclusively amateur in Region 2. No further changes to 7000-7200 kHz will be considered at WRC-07 (although we always have to watch the footnotes). 7200-7300 The status quo prevails: broadcasting in Regions 1 and 3, amateur in Region 2. There is no sharing with fixed and mobile in any Region. This can be revisited at WRC-07. 7300-7350 Now allocated to fixed and mobile, as a result of WARC-92 this will become a worldwide broadcasting band on 1 April 2007 with fixed and mobile allowed to continue operating on a national-non-interference basis. (As a practical matter this is already a broadcasting band.) 7350-7400 Now allocated to fixed and mobile worldwide, on 29 March 2009 this becomes a worldwide broadcasting band with fixed and mobile allowed to continue operating on a national-non-interference basis. In other words, there is a reduction for fixed and mobile. 7400-7450 Now allocated to fixed and mobile worldwide, on 29 March 2009 this becomes a broadcasting band in Regions 1 and 3 (with fixed and mobile allowed to continue operating on a national-non-interference basis) and remains fixed and mobile in Region 2. Thus, fixed and mobile in Region 2 gets hit with the same problem we have had for the past 65 years: broadcasting interference at night. While we have of course tended to focus on 7000-7300, what was proposed for above 7300 was equally or more important to the other parties of interest. There was a fundamental disagreement between CEPT (Europe) and CITEL (the Americas) over 7350-7550 kHz. CEPT wanted to realign the broadcasting band so it would be 7300-7550 worldwide. CITEL wanted no new broadcasting in Region 2 and simply wanted broadcasting in Regions 1 and 3 to shift up with no change in Region 2. If CEPT and CITEL had not reconciled this fundamental difference there would have been no agreement, and no improvement for amateurs below 7300. Eventually CITEL reluctantly accepted another 50 kHz for broadcasting in Region 2 and CEPT reluctantly accepted this partial realignment for broadcasting that is just 25% of what they had set out to achieve. I hope this contributes to understanding the WRC-03 outcome. 73, Dave K1ZZ
