Pause on new 40 MHz experimental permits in the USA

Posted: 11 Dec 2021 01:05 PM PST https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2021/12/pause-on-new-40-mhz-experimental.html



In a previous post, I outlined how seven experimental licenses were issued
for the 40 MHz band in the USA. It now seems as if the FCC, the licensing authority in the USA are now turning down new applications.
It's possible there may be two reasons for this...
1) The FCC may have been contacted by existing users of the 40 MHz band
about their fear of interference from these new experimental stations.
2) The FCC may feel that this is an attempt by radio amateurs to gain
access to a new VHF band by the back door so to speak.
Hopefully, the FCC will be assured that the licenses issues are issued to people who want to conduct propagation experiments and it's not just
another band for talking or DX-ing.Links...
