I remember that day.  I was fixing a phone in a farm outbuilding.

  Not good when you proudly compare yourself to Captain Bligh.  At least he 
didn’t choose Captain Queeg.  I was thinking it was his Alexander Haig moment, 
but Haig kind of got a raw deal, that was just a PR blunder and not a power 
grab IMHO.

    No, it was a commentary on Potus and his news conference yesterday.   



    Being serious now - if the federal government says we are still in an 
emergency near the STA’s expiration date I think we are in a good position to 
request an extension based on conditions being unchanged from the emergency 
that prompted the STA in the first place.

      I didnt see these STAs come up in any of the POTUS press conferences. 
You're saying the oval office is involved in this?

        I guess it depends on what “The president of the United States 
call[ing] the shots” decides on when this is over.  



        The bigger picture at play is this NPRM: 
https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DOC-360940A1.pdf



        The FCC has an open proceeding to make the STA’s the permanent law of 
the land.   This is one of those ’never let a crisis go to waste’ moments where 
the FCC gets to make the facts on the ground match up with something they want 
to do anyway.



        So yes, I do see this as becoming permanent, and the more use we as an 
industry can show it being used responsibly the better.

          Are you anticipating an extension or grant of permanence?

            Some of our 450m’s have seen subtle improvements, others have been 
more dramatic.  Nice to have some breathing room to push AP’s from 20 to 30Mhz

                The STA’s for the original applicants were granted with the 
original letter and could be used with notification to the other license 
holders in the state.  A condition of the grant was that you had to make your 
own application for the STA under the company name within 10 days.   Those 
applications, as best I can tell, are still working through the process with 
the FCC.



                Yes, they are in use.

                  Very useful but is anyone even operational on 5.9 today? It 
appears the STA's never got granted from what I read in some other threads on 
here. I was told the FCC backed out of issuing the STA's because of some 
resistance by some group.

                    Talking to Congress folks/WISPA about pushing to see if we 
could get an extension on the 60 day 5.9 spectrum to something more like 6-12 
months, there seems to be an interest in raising the issue to FCC 
commissioners. Both Senator/WISPA folks want to judge how much interest there 
would be from the community. No promises, but how useful would this be for you 
all?
