I will share my comment, it was a modification of the sample comment. Oftentimes the FCC will disregard copy/pasted mass comments so take that for what it is worth.
"AST & Science LLC (AST SpaceMobile) is operating satellites in the amateur radio spectrum, and will cause interference with amateur radio operations. The 430-440 MHz band is used for a variety of Amateur Radio applications, examples include amateur space communications, weak-signal SSB, digital television, data communications, repeaters and other applications. The proposed 243 satellite constellation will cause interference to amateurs world-wide. I strongly urge you to deny their request to use amateur radio frequencies for commercial use. I personally am a HAM radio operator and member of Texas Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) and the Brazoria County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES). These frequencies are vital for emergency communications via satellite and amateur radio, as well as technological advancement in the radio science by amateur radio operators."
