These are not open for commenting yet, but when they are we need all users here to issue a comment on both.
As you may be aware the DSRC users have all but eliminated the use of 5.9 GHz in the Tampa site. These people have proven they are incompetent and we would expect the same sort of user to appear in the valuable 3.4 GHz band.
3.4 GHz is the only non-shared with part 15 amateur band, and we use it exclusively for backhaul on the Tampa Bay HamWAN. There is no other band where we have clean spectrum, and easily accessible data radios.
10 GHz would be great, but there are no commercial companies building product which will work there.
If we loose both bands, HamWAN and high-speed data networking is dead. -- Bryan Fields, W9CR Florida Simulcast Group, Inc. _______________________________________________ FSG-public mailing list FSG-public@lists.keekles.org http://lists.keekles.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fsg-public
