<font color="#000000" face="Franklin Gothic Demi, Avenir Next Condensed Demi Bold, sans-serif">Unintentional RF interference is a huge problem in commercial satellite that imposes maximum EIRP uplink density limits on off axis emissions and maximum downlink
EIRP density limits. For some reason the FCC seems to think that spectrum sharing in C-band is a good idea in order to placate the 5G donor base. We have already unofficially lost the 3.4 GHz. ham band. If the 5G money can allow the FCC to make billions of
dollars worth of satellites obsolete while they still have a decade of life left, they can desimate the entire amateur microwave spectrum in a single pen stroke. It's time to make the FCC an independent non-government agency, if that's possible.</font></div>

<div>It makes sense to add text about satellite interference to our FCC comment, using this for justification.<br>

<div>Does mean that somebody is finally going to do something</div>
