Although this may sound bad news, I do know from talking to Barry G4SJH that everything possible is being done to preserve the amateur allocation, although it may not be in its current form. Also, the UK is fortunate in having the band extension from 1300 - 1325 MHz where all our TV repeater outputs are.The scale of the problem for the amateur services is becoming clear. For example, the studies predict that even a 10W 23cm band station could cause interference to RNSS receivers at up to 30km on the antenna main beam heading. Although the level of amateur activity and the density of users is quite low (compared to other more popular bands) the issue remains that from a regulatory perspective the amateur services are required to not cause harmful interference to RNSS services.
