[arrl-odv:22445] As-filed comments in response to Public Notice concerning Recommendations of the Advisory Committee for the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference, IB Docket 04-286.

Greetings. Attached please find a copy of comments filed today in connection with two issues on the WRC-15 agenda. The FCC in late January issued a Public Notice seeking comments on recommendations of the FCC's WRC-15 Advisory Committee (WAC). Today is the due date for these comments. The form of these comments was drafted by me, but the substance of the filing was prepared by Brennan Price. Thanks to President Craigie, CEO Sumner and EC member Cliff Ahrens for helpful edits and thanks to the entire Executive Committee for quick review and approval of the filing. There were only two issues in this group of WRC-15 Advisory Committee (WAC) recommendations to the Commission that were of interest to ARRL. The Commission has basically indicated that it could support the WAC recommendations, subject to public comment thereon. ARRL's comments address the following two proposals: (1) the possible allocation internationally of the band 5275-5450 kHz to the Amateur Service, and (2) the possible expansion of the 9.3-9.9 GHz Earth Exploration Satellite Service (EESS) to include additional spectrum in the 8.7-10.5 GHz band. That would potentially conflict with our 10 GHz band. The WRC-15 preparation and the WRC-15 Advisory Committee recommendations are Brennan's bailiwick and his area of expertise. Because of that and because these comments are part of Brennan's advocacy effort internationally, I included a signature line for Brennan on this pleading. 73, Chris W3KD Christopher D.
