hr arrl bulletin nr 96  from arrl headquarters
newington ct  november 4, 1985
to all radio amateurs bt

by fcc report and order released  october  31,  non  government
radio  location  has  been given primary status at 1900 to 2000
khz.  this action in pr docket 84 874 relates to the  projected
allocation  of  1605  to  1705  khz to broadcasting, which will
displace radio determination stations in that range.  effective
december  9,  1985,  amateur  stations  in the 1900 to 2000 khz
range must not cause harmful interference to the radio location
service  and  are  afforded  no  protection  from  interference
arising from radio location operations.

this is not as bad as it seems, however, as fcc will not accept
applications  from  radio location stations at 1605 to 1705 khz
for moves to 160 until july 1, 1987.  according  to  fcc,  this
means  that  amateur  operators will continue to have virtually
exclusive non government use of 1900 to 2000 khz until  private
radio  location  transmitters  become operational.  january qst
will carry further details  ar
