In its most recent list of experimental license grants from Oct. 1, 2004 to Nov. 1, 2004, the FCC granted WD2XLL to Nextel of New York a license to use spectrum in TV channels 54, 59, 62, 63, 64, 67, 68 and 69 (710-716, 740-746, 762-776, and 792-806 MHz) for "test and development of communications systems" in New York and Queens. Southwest Research Institute was given a license to operate on "various ultra high frequencies" for antenna testing in San Antonio, TX.

None of the other license grants listed frequencies used by TV broadcasters. For a list of all the license granted in October, see FCC Report 373 - Experimental Actions.

The FCC has released a list of experimental licenses granted between Nov. 1, 2003 and Jan. 1, 2004 . Two of the licenses allow operation in the UHF TV band. Viacel was granted a license to operate on TV channels 54 and 59 in New York City and Union City, N.J. While the FCC CDBS does not reveal any TV stations in the N

The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology released its list of experimental license grants between Feb. 1, 2004 and March 1, 2004 . Some of the grants will be of interest to UHF broadcasters. L3-Communications was granted license WC2XSW to operate on frequencies from 407 to 1512 MHz for antenna tuning and evaluatio

The FCC released a list of experimental licenses granted between July 1 and Aug. 1, 2005 . One grant that broadcasters using the 2 GHz broadcast auxiliary service (BAS) band should be concerned with is WD2XPK. It allows Clarity Broadcasting Systems to use 2 GHz ENG spectrum to broadcast TV programming to truckers and

The FCC Office of Engineering and Technology released a list of experimental applications granted between 7/1/04 and 8/1/04 . Broadcasters may be interested in one of the grants, license WD2XKG to Shure Incorporated for operation in the 180-186, 192-198, 204-210, 674-680, 764-770, 776-782, 788-794, and 800-806 MHz ban

The FCC released its list of experimental license grants between 1/1/05 to 2/1/05 . Towerstream Corporation received seven licenses for operation in the 3650-3700 MHz band for the test and development of Part 15 devices. These licenses cover fixed and mobile operation in Atlanta, Dallas, Chicago, Seattle, Phoenix, La

The FCC released a list of experimental applications granted from April 1 to May 1, 2004 . Readers concerned out BPL interference may be interested in license WD2XIZ, issued to AT&T Corp. to operate between 1.705 - 80 MHz for testing broadband over power lines in Menlo Park Calif., Florham Park, N.J., Middletown, N.J.

Few of the experimental licenses granted from 5/1/06 to 6/1/06 involved frequencies used by TV broadcasters. Many of the grants were for licenses to test WiMax technology. In the FCC Report 391: Experimental Actions, it listed that Intel received a license to use 3420-3440 MHz and 3520-3540 MHz for WiMax testing in

I only saw one experimental license grant in the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology list of experimental applications granted from 12/1/04 to 1/1/05 that could impact TV broadcast operations. VIASAT was allowed to use frequencies in the 2000-2300 MHz band at an antenna test range. This band includes frequencies
