[amsat-bb] Re: NatGeo to Use TV Frequencies for Wildlife Sensing, Ima ging in DC Area

[Keith N4ZQ]

Can someone explain to me why this message had hieroglyphics in the frequency listings? Makes it just a tad hard to read. Is there something I can do on my end to correct it?

NatGeo to Use TV Frequencies for Wildlife Sensing, Imaging  
by Doug Lung, April 11, 2008       

The latest list of FCC experimental license grants, covering the period from Jan. 1, 2008, to Feb. 1, 2008, includes a license allowing use of VHF and UHF TV frequencies for wildlife sensing and imaging within Washington, D.C.

License WE2XMB allows National Geographic to operate in the 54–72, 76–88, 174–216, 420–432, 433.92, 470–608, 614–806 and 902–928 MHz bands

Ham Radio operators around Boulder, Colo., may hear unusual signals in the 2 meter and 440 MHz bands. The Colorado Space Grant Consortium at the University of Colorado in Boulder received a license to operate in the 144–146 and 435–440 MHz bands for testing the atmospheric neutral density explorer.

As previously covered in RF Report, the FCC has been granting experimental licenses to nuclear power plant operators allowing them to use broadcast TV spectrum for communications around nuclear reactors. In the latest list, Nuclear Management Company LLC was allowed to use 470–806 MHz at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant in Welch, Minn.

Boeing was granted an experimental license to use Ku-band satellite frequencies for testing a Maritime Mobile Satellite Earth terminal in the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S territories and international waters.

See the latest list of FCC experimental license grants for the complete list.
