tls@gate.net (Terry Steinford) replied:
I believe that in most of the 450 MHz band government radiolocation is the
primary use, amateur is secondary.
To which I add:
Check out the FCC Rules, in particular the ARRL printed version. You'll
see a couple of footnotes dealing with power limitations within 100-200
km of various USAF bases around the continental US, including Otis AFB
in Massachusetts, Eglin AFB in Florida, Offutt AFB in Nebraska (?), and
several others that I can't remember offhand. In fact, the rules were
tweaked a few years ago to permit 70cm amateur satellite uplink operation
in such a way so as NOT to cause interference with the PAVE/PAWS gear.
Also, don't forget that we're now explicitly sharing 449-450 with wind
shear warning equipment as well. Also, we cannot use 420-430 north of
Line A (to prevent QRM to Canadian land mobile users) nor within 50 miles
of certain major US cities along the Great Lakes (Buffalo, Cleveland,
Detroit, and some others). In all cases, we're definitely the
secondary allocation.

Bayard, N1HO, in FN43ig (south of line A, way north of Otis AFB and
nowhere near the Great Lakes !)
