BAND, AND ARE A REASONABLE ALTERNATIVE TO EXPANDING THE SUSPENSION OF
AMATEUR OPERATIONS FROM THE 76 77 GHZ BAND TO THE REMAINDER OF THE 76 81
GHZ BAND OR REMOVING THE AMATEUR ALLOCATIONS ALTOGETHER FROM THE 76 81 GHZ
BAND, THE R O SAID.  THE FCC R O WOULD IMPOSE A 55 DBM PEAK EFFECTIVE
ISOTROPIC RADIATED POWER EIRP LIMIT 316 W EIRP ON AMATEUR RADIO OPERATIONS
