FCC announced that all Amateur Radio use of the band 3.45 - 3.5 GHz must cease effective April 14, 2022.
See http://www.arrl.org/3-ghz-band for detailed history on recent challenges to the allocation.
9 cm Band Plan Notes:
Note 1 – Includes all other emission modes authorized in the 9 cm amateur band whose necessary bandwidth does not exceed
the suggested bandwidths listed.
Note 2 – Weak Signal Terrestrial legacy users are encouraged to move to 3400.3 to 3401.0 MHz as time and resources permit.
Note 3 – Broadband segments may be used for any combination of high-speed data (e.g. 802.11 protocols), Amateur Television
and other high-bandwidth activities. Division into channels and/or separation of uses within these segments may
be done regionally based on need and usage.
Note 4 – Per ITU RR 5.149 from WRC-07, these band segments are also used for Radio Astronomy. Amateur use of these
frequencies should be first coordinated with the National Science Foundation (esm@nsf.gov).
