LS has been very devious about this. They bought a company that owned satellite frequencies close to GPS and in a band intended for satellite transmission only . The satellite signals were not strong enough to use with th eLS ground recievers so LS asked for a wavier to “agument” the satellite signals with ground based repeaters/transmitters. The problem is having those ground based transmitters blasting high powered signals in a frequency area used by ground based receivers designed for satellite signals, NOT high powered ground based signals. It’s not a simple matter of filtering, it would be like listening to a wisper (GPS) in one ear when someone’s (LS ground based repeaters) screaming in the other.
The FCC should not have granted LS the waiver to operate high powered ground based repeaters in a frequency range that’s always been used for satellite transmissions.
Thanks. That’s what I’d read but couldn’t remember it.
And for those that don't know, it was the MILITARY that brought the world GPS.
Clinton was the first Rat with his snout in the cheese - he gave away the military control on GPS accuracy, and later, frequency control.
It was a payoff to donors who wanted to piggy back on what the DoD funded and implemented.
Thanks for the summary, I think you explained what is going on here better than most of these “he said/she said” news stories.
The question I would like answered is: Did the Obama administration sell these frequencies to their cronies simply because they didn’t foresee the consequences? Or, were the consequences intended because they align with Obama’s goal of weakening America?
The results may be indistinguishable regardless of whether the cause was corruption, negligence, incompetence, or something more seditious, but that is, I think, the real issue we need to be focusing on: establishing the motives.
