Allocation of the 219-220 MHz Band for Use by the Amateur Radio Service

概要

By this Memorandum Opinion and Order (MO&O), the Commission addresses the Petition for Reconsideration (Petition), filed by Fred Daniel d/b/a Orion Telecom (Orion). Orion's Petition requests that the Commission rescind the 219-220 MHz allocation to the Amateur Radio Service or, alternatively, modify the rules to provide additional protection for Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) operations. This MO&O affirms the Commission's decision to allocate the 219-220 MHz band to the Amateur Radio Service on a secondary basis; and also amends the amateur rules to reflect the frequency upon which the AMTS stations operate. Finally, the MO&O updates and corrects the Table of Frequency Allocations.
