3.1 to 3.55 covers a lot of radar frequencies used by the military and FAA for
ATC, surface search and landing aids along with some telemetry. When I request
spectrum use in that region from FASFACVACAPES I usually end up not getting the
full bandwidth I want due to the large number of other DOD and FAA users
crowded in there. About 6mo ago I filled out a DoD questionnaire re opposition
of the auction. I was just one of many many DOD users who did so.
I would not be surprised if the auction doesnt happen or if it does the 5G
users get limited power/bandwidth have to work around the existing users.
Lots of existing RF infrastructure in there.
Ham is a tiny tiny low power slice. If our voices are heard we will probably
keep what we have.

I read, somewhere, a few weeks ago, that 3456 would be auctioned in December
of 2021. (If you haven't noticed, it takes the FCC forever to do anything) The
military is staying. Are we? Does anybody know?

Subject: Re: [VHFcontesting] 3456 MHz
Yes, what Alex wrote.
This auction was for some 22,000+ 'chunks' (10 MHz, unpaired, if I read
correctly) of spectrum in geographically defined area in the 3.55-3.65 GHz
band. The bidding concluded yesterday.
Excruciating detail available at https://www.fcc.gov/auction/105
As Alex noted _this_ auction does not appear to impact access to amateur
radio's secondary allocation from 3.3-3.5 GHz BUT, the expected future FCC
actions/auctions for 3.1-3.55 GHz remain likely to impact.
