Re: C-Band Spectrum Grab

It is ONLY 9 pages.. Not including the required "Frequency Coordination Exhibit".

Ownership, location and the sat to be received is enough to determine and protect an interference keyhole much like STL coordination.  The rest is pure bureaucratic paper pushing.  We need to be proactive in contacting the commissioners and local congress critters.

The Commission under Chairman Pai is MUCH, MUCH more receptive to broadcast concerns now than it was just a few months ago but is still heavily lobbied by the cell and broadband companies.  Money talks...

My "Frequency Coordination Exhibit" would probably read something like...  "We have a great big, narrow beamwidth, high gain, receive antenna pointed out into the middle of space at a geosynchronous satellite that has worked perfectly for 40 years without spending $395". No snark intended...

They could also stand to make the registration a whole lot simpler!

Just the name of the owner, location address, contact info, and coordinates seems like it would be enough for them to know.

But what do I know (clearly not much, because no one asked me).
