3.4 GHz FCC seeks to clear band of radio amateurs and other non-Federal services https://amsat-uk.org/2019/11/24/fcc-seeks-to-clear-radio-amateurs-out-of-3-4...
"With respect to amateur operations, is there sufficient existing amateur spectrum in other bands that can support the operations currently conducted in the 3.3-3.5 GHz band?"
We're slowly being corralled into less and less spectrum, without consideration given to the fact that each band has slightly different characteristics and challenges.
It is clear that the FCC, and our legislators in Congress, no longer consider the greater public good when parceling out spectrum allocations. Instead, the almighty dollar drives their decisions.
At this point I'm going to suggest that rather than complain instead run to turf somebody out in an elected office. Primary season for congressional elections will start up very shortly. DC is stuck in a rut and frankly firing all the incumbents on Capitol Hill might help make action a little more sensible.
