I was an HSMM WG member and provided input in November that 3400-3410 MHz is the satellite segment, 3456-3458 MHz is the U.S. weak signal segment and that the only other use that I knew of were two FM ATV repeaters in southern California with 10.4 GHz inputs and 3380 and 3480 MHz outputs. The WiMAX allocation in Europe is 3.4-3.6 GHz so there should be equipment becoming available for use in the U.S. ham band.

They have kindly given us what is (for the time being) already ours. I do not know if they have ANY standing whatsoever with the ARRL. I believe John Stephensen is working with them, I get their emailings. Here is what we should do/say: we have an allocation in the amateur satellite service in 3.4 GHz range as of the last WARC. We intend using all of it and I think the answer to Matt's question is yes and he has the frequency range right. Jim should check before replying.

I forget how much of the band is allocated for satellite use. Isn't it just 10 MHz?
