But, I did notice that 10.475 GHz to 10.500 GHz is allocated to the
amateur satellite service,
but not to amateurs in general. i.e. no
terrestrial use. - That's a first !!
Hi David,
I'd use the words "a disaster" rather than "a first".
The Amateur Service in the UK lost 10.475-10.500 GHz in 2006. While it is notionally still allocated to the Amateur Satellite Service the high-powered commercial stations that now occupy the segment render it unusable.
Below some related links regarding the loss of 10.475-10.500 GHz. 2006 - Ofcom 10 GHz sell off http://www.southgatearc.org/news/august2006/ofcom_10ghz_selloff.htm
2007 - Ofcom 10 GHz Auction statement http://www.southgatearc.org/news/august2007/ofcom_10ghz_auction_statement.ht...
UK Amateur licence issued 2007 removed 10.475-10.500 from the Amateur Service https://licensing.ofcom.org.uk/binaries/spectrum/amateur-radio/guidance-for-...
10.450-10.460 MHz has some protection thanks to CEPT Common European Frequency Allocation Table footnote EU17 Annex 1 page 167 of http://www.erodocdb.dk/docs/doc98/official/pdf/ERCRep025.pdf

Hi Trevor.
I went off and looked at the UK allocations when I read that. Seems to be up or down and not limited to 29.3 either.
But, I did notice that 10.475 GHz to 10.500 GHz is allocated to the amateur satellite service, but not to amateurs in general. i.e. no terrestrial use. - That's a first !! We've got our own piece of spectrum.
