ARRL Files Comments in Two Matters Before FCC
On Tuesday, May 27, ARRL filed electronic comments concerning two matters that the FCC has under consideration. The first set of comments concern a company that filed a request for a waiver of Part 90 of the FCC rules; ReconRobotics, an electronics manufacturer, wishes to sell and for its public safety customers to use a robotic device that operates in the 430-448 MHz band. The primary allocation in that portion of the spectrum is United States government radiolocation (military radars). The Amateur Service has an allocation on a secondary basis. The second matter deals with GE Healthcare and their request for allocation of spectrum (as a secondary user) in the 2300 MHz band; the Amateur Radio Service has a primary allocation in a portion of the requested band.

FIELD DAY: This year was excellent. We tried to cover 10 locations (nearly 500 miles). Everyone was GREAT, and I thank you all for your on going support and efforts. Every one of the clubs and organizations did a fabulous job (NASOBA VALLEY, MITRE SITES, NORTH SHORE, and so many more) with their beautiful and impressive towers and antenna fields!
I am sorry not to get to everyone on Field Day, but there are only so many hours to do it in.
In the months to come, I hope you will invite me to speak at your organizations. Please allow plenty of time for planning, so I can be available. Oh, yes, I am an OES, and also am active on most bands operating.
As of July 19th thru the 27th, it is VACATION TIME!! So we are just getting ready to pack up for the week. Thanks to my neighbor who is a state police officer as well as others. They will be staying here on the property for us.
