    Amateur Operation in 3.45 – 3.5 GHz Segment Must Cease by April 14, 2022

01/18/2022

The FCC has established April 14, 2022, as the date by which amateur 
radio transmissions must stop in the upper 3.45 – 3.5 GHz segment of the 
amateur secondary 9-centimeter band. Secondary operations are permitted 
to continue indefinitely in the remainder of the band, 3.3 – 3.45 GHz, 
pending future FCC proceedings.

On January 14 the FCC *released* 
<https://www.fcc.gov/document/fcc-announces-winning-bidders-345-ghz-service-auction/attachment-a> 
DA 22-39, which announces the results of Auction 110 for the 3.45 – 3.55 
GHz band. Release of this notice triggered FCC rules adopted last year 
requiring that amateur radio operations between 3.45 GHz and 3.5 GHz 
cease within 90 days of the public notice.

In October 2021, ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, urged Congress to 
direct the FCC to preserve Amateur Radio’s secondary use of the 3 GHz 
band in a written *statement* 
<http://www.arrl.org/arrl-statement-on-3-ghz-band-oct-2021> responding 
to H.R. 5378, the Spectrum Innovation Act of 2021, before the US House 
Commerce Communications and Technology Subcommittee.

A *chronology of actions* <http://www.arrl.org/3-ghz-band> responding to 
amateur access on the 3.5 GHz band can be found on the ARRL website.
