   They are not using proposing to use ham radio frequencies. They are   
   proposing a set of frequencies already authorized for use under Part 90   
   licenses. But those frequencies are normally only available for   
   commercial use on an emergency basis. There are several existing data   
   systems on those bands, however, operating under Part 5 experimental   
   licenses. Some of these bands are adjacent to ham bands, though, so the   
   out-of-band signals from transmitters operating under SMC's proposed   
   rules would be "S9+" on parts of the ham bands.
