Oh, I also just remembered that Icom announced that it is making a module for 10 GHz for the IC-905. https://qrpblog.com/2022/08/icom-ic-905-shf-sdr-transceiver-2-4-5-6-10ghz/ On Oct 25, 2022, at 10:29 PM, Kristen McIntyre <kristen@alum.mit.edu> wrote: Thank you David for the detailed response. I have asked one of the club members to gather a list spectrum users. When I get responses, I will pass them along to you. I know that we have a 10 GHz beacon around here and a few of my friends contest on that band as rovers. I think it’s quite popular in the West with all of the mountains. There is also a duct that forms pretty regularly in the summer from south of here down to Mexico.

It has not been released by the FCC for public comment yet. (All petitions generally are released for comment in due course, the action does not indicate whether the Commission might or might not initiate a rulemaking.) I’d be interested in having contacts among amateurs who use this spectrum, but this group’s reflector does not appear to be readable by non-members such as myself (correct me if I am wrong) and I have seen mention of this petition only in the commercial press. I’d like to know more about who is using this 10 GHz Spectrum, and how, for use when this is released for comment. FWIW, one of the petitioners is one of the two non-amateur commenters in the 3 GHz proceeding that expressed support for our arguments that amateurs should be allowed to continue as secondary users on the 3 GHz spectrum. Out of the gate this proposal is to continue amateurs’ current secondary status, and even recognizes the special status and considerations for the amateur satellite subband and weak signal work. But there might be some overhead – they would have us participate in a still-to-be designed system so that everyone would know of our operations and we would know of theirs – of course, the details would be worked out only well down the road. But in concept their proposal is somewhat similar, if more technology-based, to proposals we offered as ways to continue using 3 GHz spectrum. Our proposals there were based on the rules that already govern our secondary access to the 135 and 472 kHz bands; and different coordinating rules that apply to our sharing the 219.5 MHz spectrum. So my impression is that we hopefully would be able to work something out if the FCC takes this up. In any event, the petitioners are proposing to keep us as secondary users. Regards, Dave David R.
