We're looking at two sides of the same coin.  I'd agree Tampa and St Pete
should be ok (Tampa's already been impacted by the DSRC stuff), for now.

Given a literal reading of the STA, I was not inferring all you put in your reply so you must have further information on those motives I missed—hence the question of what I was missing.

I was taken by the speed at which it was granted. WISPA has become very
secretive and the industry has become laser focused on getting spectrum.

These small steps here with the lack of "meaningful response" from the amateur
community will be used as the argument to take the band.  5725 to 5850 is
unusable now due to the noise floor, and the inability to work with part 15
users.  2.4 GHz and 902 MHz is even worse.
