The next band to be targeted is 3450 to 3550 MHz (of which, 3450 to 3500 MHz is allocated to Amateur Radio).

I never like to see Amateur Radio lose spectrum. But if I'm not mistaken 3300-3500 MHz is currently allocated to Amateur Radio. So this would still leave hams with 3300-3450 MHz.


That's correct. It would not be a complete loss. More like when 1215 to 1240 MHz and 2310 to 2390 MHz was lost after WARC-79.


Except for the fact that Channel 1 bleeds into almost all of the amateur 2ghz band. The center frequency puts the left side of the channel into our band and has made it a mess.

For those interested in how these frequencies are used by HAMs check out http://www.arednmesh.org. We hack routers and wifi point to point links to operate on those frequencies to build out large mesh networks.
