24GHz radar follow-on 'consulation' started

The full consultation document can be downloaded from: http://www.ofcom.org.uk/consult/condocs/24ghz/

Although we are Primary Users, only the Radio Astronomers get protection near designated sites in their own sub-band below 24GHz

Ofcom Say:-

Amateur Radio Users
3.21 In response to its recent consultation on the use of Automotive Short Range Radar in the 79GHz band, Ofcom received a number of representations from the Amateur radio community on the prospect of the 24GHz band also being made available. These comments were out of the scope of that consultation but Ofcom now welcomes representations from Amateur and other users of the 24GHz band.

3.22 Ofcom however, reiterates the points made in response to the comments received previously, namely that the UK has no option but to implement the EC Decision and that the Commission was informed in making this Decision by compatibility work undertaken by the European Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT), which considered the wider range of other users of the band.
