ODV has been silent on this so far, but I was asked again last night at a meeting about what we are doing about the potential threat to the 5.9 GHz spectrum involving HamWAN and AREDN. The rumors are flying up here. Who at HQ should I contact about this? Thanks, and good luck to those participating in the CQWW CW test this weekend (ur 599 3) 73; Mike W7VO

This, at first glance, seems to be a direct assault on our 5.9 GHz allocations. That said, I'm not aware of exactly what frequencies HamWAN uses, and how this will affect that emerging technology amateur radio program. Anybody know anything about this?

Mike:
Please pass this along to the spectrum defense folks at HQ: https://www.fcc.gov/document/chairman-pais-remarks-new-59-ghz-band-proposal
The use of this spectrum in Western Washington is significant, and our EOC-to-EOC amateur radio data infrastructure in that band is growing rapidly.
Thanks, Steve
