navigational bridge-to-bridge and navigational com-
munications on a simplex basis by coast and ship sta-
tions on the frequencies 156.375 and 156.65 MHz.
US78-In the mobile service, the frequencies between
1435 and 1535 MHz will be assigned for aeronautical teleme-
try and associated telecommand operations for flight testing
of manned or unmanned aircraft and missiles or for their
major components. Permissible usage includes telemetry
associated with launching and reentry into the earth’s atmo-
sphere as well as any incidental orbiting prior to reentry of
manned objects undergoing flight tests. The following fre-
quencies are shared with flight telemetering mobile stations:
1444.5, 1453.5, 1501.5, 1515.5, 1524.5, and 1525.5 MHz.
US8O-Government stations may
use
the frequency 122.9
MHz subject
to
the following conditions:
(a) All operations by Government stations shall be
restricted to the purpose for which the frequency is
authorized to non-Government stations and shall be in
accordance with the appropriate provisions of the
Commission’s
rules
and regulations, Part 87, Aviation
Services.
(b) Use of the frequency is required for coordination
of
activities with Commission licensees operating on
this frequency.
(c) Government stations will not be authorized for opera-
tions at fixed locations.
US81-The band 38-38.25 MHz is used by both Govern-
ment and non-Government radio astronomy observatories.
No
new fixed or mobile assignments are to be made and Govern-
ment stations in the band 38-38.25 MHz will be moved to
other bands on a case-by-case basis, as required, to protect
radio astronomy observations from harmful interference. As
an exception however, low-powered military transportable
and mobile stations used for tactical and training purposes will
continue to use the band.
To
the extent practicable, the latter
operations will be adjusted to relieve such interference as may
be caused to ra&o astronomy observations.
In
the event of
harmful interference from such local operations, radio astron-
omy observatories may contact local military commands
directly, with a view to effecting relief. A list of military com-
mands, areas of coordination, and points of contact for pur-
poses
of
relieving interference may be obtained upon request
from the Office of the Chief Scientist, Federal Communica-
tions Commission, Washington,
DC
20554.
US82-Until July 1, 1991, the assignable frequencies in
the bands 4143.6-4146.6
kHz,
6218.6-6224.6 kHz, 8291
.l-
and 22124-22139.5
kHz
may
be
authorized on a shared non-
priority basis to Government and non-Government ship and
coast stations
(SSB
telephony, with peak envelope power not
to exceed 1 kW). Effective July 1, 1991, the assignable fre-
quencies in the bands 41464152 kHz, 6224-6233
kHz,
8297.3 ~Hz, 12429.2-12439.5 kHz, 16587.1-16596.4 kHz,
8294-8300
~Hz,
12353-12368 ~Hz, 16528-16549 kHz,
18825-18846 kHz, 22159-22180 ~Hz, and 25100-25121
kHz may be authorized on a shared nonpriority basis to Gov-
ernment and non-Government ship and coast stations
(SSB
telephony, with peak envelope power not to exceed
1
kW).
US87-The frequency 450
MHz,
with maximum emis-
sion bandwidth of 500 kHz, may be used by Government and
non-Government stations for space telecommand at specific
locations, subject to such conditions as may be applied
on
a
case-by-case basis.
US90-In the band 2025-21 10 MHz Earth-to-space and
space-to-space transmissions may be authorized in the space
research and earth exploration-satellite services subject to
such conditions as may be applied on a case-by-case basis.
Such transmissions shall not cause harmful interference
to
non-Government stations operating in accordance with the
Table of Frequency Allocations. All space-to-space transmis-
sion reaching the earth‘s surface shall adhere to a power flux
density
of
between
-
144 and
-
154 dBW/m2/4
kHz
depending
on the angle of anival per
ITU
Radio Regulation 2557 and
shall not cause harmful interference to the other space ser-
vices.
US93-In the conterminous United States, the frequency
108.0
MHz
may be authorized for use by VOR test facilities,
the operation of which is not essential for the safety of life or
property, subject to the condition that no interference
is
caused to the reception
of
FM broadcasting stations operating
in the band 88-108 MHz. In the event that such interference
does occur, the licensee or other agency authorized to operate
the facility shall discontinue operation on 108 MHz and shall
not resume operation until the interference has been elimi-
nated or the complaint otherwise satisfied.
VOR
test facilities
operating
on
108 MHz will not be protected against interfer-
ence caused by
FM
broadcasting stations operating in the
band 88-108 MHz nor shall the authorization of a
VOR
test
facility on 108
MHz
preclude the Commission from authoriz-
ing additional
FM
broadcasting stations.
US99-In the band 1668.4-1670
MHz,
the meteorologi-
cal aids service (radiosonde) will avoid operations to the max-
imum extent practicable. Whenever it is necessary to operate
radiosondes in the band 1668.4-1670 MHz within the United
States, notification of the operations shall be sent as far in
advance as possible to the Electromagnetic Spectrum Man-
agement Unit, National Science Foundation, Washington, DC
20550.
US102-In Alaska only, the frequency 122.1 MHz may
also be used for air carrier air traffic control purposes at loca-
tions where other frequencies are not available to air carrier
aircraft stations for air traffic control.
US104-The
LORAN
Radionavigation System has prior-
ity in the band 90-1
10
kHz in the United States and
Posses-
sions. Radiolocation land stations making
use
of
LORAN
type
equipment may be authorized
to
both Government and non-
Government on a Secondary Service basis for offshore radi-
olocation activities only at specific locations and subject
to
such technical and operational conditions (e.g., power, emis-
sion, pulse rate and phase code, hours of operation), including
on-the-air testing, as may be required
on
a case-by-case basis
to ensure protection of the
LORAN
Radionavigation System
from harmful interference and to ensure mutual compatibility
among radiolocation operators. Such authorizations to sta-
tions in the radiolocation service are further subject to show-
ing of need for service which is not currently provided and
which the Government is not yet prepared to render by way of
the radionavigation service.
