Thanks, Dave. I am sending the proposal out to our local microwave community to solicit input and will try to have it back to ODV prior to the EC meeting. Please keep us advised as to any developing ARRL position on this proposal. 73, Marty N6VI From: arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 8:55 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:22502] 10 GHz petition We have been waiting to see if this petition, filed last May, would be put on public notice. It finally has, as RM-11715. While the petitioners have taken amateur weak-signal work and the amateur-satellite allocation into account in their band plan, their proposal is contrary to the International Table of Frequency Allocations. The primary allocation in Region 2 is to Radiolocation with amateur secondary at 10.0-10.5 and amateur-satellite secondary at 10.45-10.5 GHz. However, the fixed service is co-primary in Regions 1 and 3 and there are two so-called "country footnotes" that provide for fixed and mobile primary allocations in named countries, including a number in Region 2 (among them Mexico, but not the U.S. or Canada) The timing is such that the Executive Committee will have the opportunity to discuss this at its March 29 meeting.
