ARRL comments to FCC on WRC-15 draft recommendations

The ARRL has commented on two draft recommendations of the FCC’s 2015
World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15) Advisory Committee (WAC)
as well as on a draft proposal provided to the FCC by the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)

Regarding 3400 MHz they say:
“[The] failure to even superficially address the protection of all
existing services — including the Amateur and Amateur-Satellite
services — is glaring,” the ARRL said. The WAC’s so-called “View A” —
to make no change in the allocation — in part said, “The secondary
nature of the Amateur Service allocation requires flexibility in
frequency selection to permit an Amateur Service licensee to use the
allocation and fulfill his or her obligation not to cause harmful
interference to the numerous primary services, including the FSS
[Fixed-Satellite Service].”

On 10 GHz the ARRL supported the FCC WAC view on Agenda Item 1.12 that
the US not be added to international footnote 5.480 — basically an
exception — to the Table of Allocations that could make part of the
10.0-10.5 GHz segment vulnerable to additional allocation for Fixed
Service applications. The Amateur and Amateur-Satellite services have
a secondary allocation in the band, and the Federal Radiolocation
Service is primary. The proposed “footnote amendment,” the League
argued, “plainly, clearly, and indisputably contradicts existing
United States regulations.” The League’s comments accused Mimosa
Networks, which has argued in favor of having the US sign on to the
international footnote, of advancing an “illogical construction to
obtain the result it desires.”
