Space satellite company is using #hamradio bands without permission, and now is looking to take away the 430 to 440Mhz band for its exclusive use.
AMSAT:
"Despite not being amateur satellites the first five commercial satellites use these amateur frequencies for telemetry links with a 50 kHz bandwidth: 430.5, 432.3, 434.1, 435.9 and 439.5 MHz..... AST SpaceMobile are planning to launch a further 243 satellites .... In February they submitted a request to the FCC Space Bureau for use of the amateur band worldwide"
(Update: "Note that the last day to comment is Monday July 21.")

I can’t find any news about the results of the filing. Do you know how it turned out?

Der Text unter dem Bild lautet: "ARD-Sommerinterview: TV-Gespräch mit AfD-Chefin Weidel geht in Demo-Lärm fast unter. Ein ARD-Sommerinterview mit AfD-Chefin Alice Weidel ist von Demonstranten gestört worden. Dahinter scheint eine bekannte Künstlergruppe zu stecken. Die ARD kündigte nun Konsequenzen an."

in reply to TheAuroraSentinel • • •Idiots are still laboring under the delusion that we have equally-applied rule of law. Wake up! Unequal rule of law is ALWAYS what conservatives have had in mind. Now they fully have it. This is the end game, folks. I laughed when I read about Newsom SUING the Fed over misappropriation of National Guard... as if the DOJ and court system are going to allow that to go forward. Meanwhile the troops remained!
End game.
