FCC seeks to remove 3 GHz ham radio band

ARRL reports the FCC has formally adopted proposals to remove the Amateur
and Amateur-Satellite Service 3 GHz Band and is inviting comments

The ARRL report says:

At its December 12 meeting, the FCC formally adopted a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) in WT Docket 19-348 and invited comments on its plan to
remove “existing non-federal secondary radiolocation and amateur
allocations� in the 3.3 – 3.55 GHz band and relocate incumbent non-federal
operations. The FCC said it’s seeking comment on appropriate “transition
mechanisms� to make that happen. ARRL has indicated that it will file
comments in opposition to the proposal. The amateur 9-meter allocation is
3.3 – 3.5 GHz. The NPRM comes in response to the MOBILE NOW [Making
Opportunities for Broadband Investment and Limiting Excessive and Needless
Obstacles to Wireless] Act, approved by the 115th Congress to make
available new spectrum for mobile and fixed wireless broadband use.

“By proposing to delete the existing non-federal secondary allocations from
the 3.3 – 3.55 GHz band, we are taking an important initial step towards
satisfying Congress’s directives and making as much as 250 megahertz of
spectrum potentially available for advanced wireless services, including
5G,� the FCC said in the Introduction to its NPRM.

Currently, the entire 3.1 – 3.55 GHz band is allocated for both federal and
non-federal radiolocation services, with non-federal users operating on a
secondary basis to federal radiolocation services, which have a primary
allocation, the NPRM explains.

The FCC said it is seeking comment on relocating non-federal licensees to
another band. With respect to amateur operations, the FCC invited comments
on whether sufficient amateur spectrum exists in other bands that can
support the operations currently conducted at 3.3 – 3.5 GHz. The 3.40 –
3.41 GHz segment is earmarked for amateur satellite communication.
