No, those channels are probably going to 802.22 services.

Isn't it going to be refarmed for public service use? Jim KQ6EA

Speaking of TV wasteland, as all TV stations have to transition to digital in 2009, the initial figures look like they are abandoning Ch 2 thru Ch 6 opening up the VHF lowband (under 88mHz) for whatever. 4 meter satellite or hambands anyone?

We need to start forcing a return to total
civilian
control of this bloated government we are now
dealing
with, and ensure it operates as 'we' direct it,
and
Sometimes its the 'we' that we worry about...
I say shut down those two 'radar' sites and move
on,
history has shown that the closure of others has
not
affected this nation whatsoever,
Oh, I donno, it protected us from Nukes from
Russia for quite a
while...
...they are no longer neccessary as there are very few nations with the capacity... to even launch long range ballisitic missiles
China just shot one of theirs down last month.
And created
10,000 bits of shrapnel that endangers all of our
satellites.
Every onve of those 10,000 bits has to be tracked
along with our
HAM satellites to keep things clean up there in
orbit...
Here's a thought..MOVE THE RADAR'S OPERATING
BAND
UPWARDS!
As one of the 'we', I don't my taxes to pay for a
new-re-build
of a several hundred million dollar facility, that
has been in
place and working fine for a very long time.
We have every right to have access to spectrum
WE own,
No, we have access to it on a secondary shared
basis. We should
be thankful for that and work with them to
minimize our
interference to them.
The military doesn't need the entire radio
spectrum to
work with, give it only what it needs and that's all...THIS FAR, NO FURTHER...THE LINE MUST BE
DRAWN HERE!
They actually have very little. The biggest waste
of spectrum
is TV. What a wasteland.
I think patience and working it out is the best
way to resolve
spectrum issues, not shooting from the hip with
all barrels
blazing...
