On June 4, 2010 the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology "Requests Information on use of 1675 – 1710 MHz Band", ET Docket No. 10-123. They are requesting information on the current users of this frequency spectrum. The EMWIN Satellite data stream uses 1690.725 Mhz and 1692.7 Mhz.
This release seeks to reallocate this frequency spectrum for "broad band" internet. This action would completely destroy EMWIN and LRIT services. Users have until June 28, 2010 to comment on this request. See FCC Release for more information.
I plan on posting a reply and writing to NOAA and my congressmen. Now is the time for action - all EMWIN users, both satellite and internet based, should object to any reallocation.
I will be updating the blog on this as I learn more.
