23 May 2005 - 24GHz Car Radar - please see the AMSAT, RSGB and UKuG’s submissions that were sent to Ofcom.
24 February 2005 - Ofcom’s reply to UKuG and similar submissions by amateurs has resulted in the following response being included in the Ofcom decision on 79GHz automotive short-range radar: ‘Ofcom is aware of Footnote EU35 of the European Frequency Tables and will take all necessary steps to permit Amateur and Amateur Satellite Services to use 75.5-76GHz after 2006’. When implemented this will permit many UK operators to remain on their current frequencies.
On 17 January 2005 the EU endorsed the use of 24GHz (actually 21.65-26.65GHz) as an interim band for SRR. Noting amateur and other concerns, Ofcom ’will consult with interested parties‚ in due course.
The original UKuG submission and full Ofcom response can be found at the UK Microwave Group’s Operating Section
