Rappaport, Ph.D, PE David Lee/Ernst Weber Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering NYU WIRELESS Tandon School of Engineering New York University 9th Floor, 2 Metrotech Center Brooklyn, NY 11201 www.NYUWIRELESS.org Ph: 646 997 3403 [email protected] Federal Communications Commission April 27, 2019 445 F St. NW Washington, DC 20022 Subject: Reply Comments in RM-11831 Dear FCC and ARRL Officials: In my role as a wireless communications engineer and expert, a former Federal Communications Commission Technological Advisory Council member, a friend to the amateur radio community, a licensed amateur radio operator (N9NB), a Professional Engineer in Virginia and Texas, and a life member of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), I file this reply regarding RM-11831 to reinforce why the FCC must urgently adopt this proposal in principle, in order to ensure data transparency in amateur radio and to eliminate the use of private email and secret file transfers that are currently being transmitted in the amateur radio spectrum. I. Introduction RM-11831 cures ongoing deficiencies that the ARRL and FCC have ignored since the late 1990s. Adoption of RM-11831 would remove existing rule ambiguities to ensure that all data transmissions in amateur radio have a readily available decoder for public use and eavesdropping, so that the public and other amateur operators can “read the mail” and learn about the hobby while intercepting any data signal for meaning over the air. As shown here in my reply to comments, RM-11831 would vastly improve the effectiveness of ACDS transmissions in emergency situations by making all data “open” for others to hear and react to, as required in 13-1918.

  • The FCC Filing
    Dr. Theodore S. Rappaport, PE PO BOX 888 Riner, Virginia 24149 [email protected] November 10, 2018 Commissioners Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, DC 20554 Dear FCC Commissioners: This is a notice of ex parte, based on email communication I had with the CTO of the FCC, Dr. Eric Burger, on November 8, 2018, his reply on November 10, 2018, and my reply on November 11, 2018. The email communication is centered around a posting that appeared on the FCC ECFS system on November 7, 2018, and is part of an ongoing proceeding at the FCC, NPRM 16-239, that I and thousands of others view as a direct threat to the national security interests of the United States, as well as being detrimental to the hobby of amateur (“ham”) radio. Public comments made in FCC’s NPRM 16-239, and in FCC proceedings RM-11708, RM-11759, and RM-11306 proposed by the American Radio Relay League, show the vast number of rule violations and national security threats that continue to go unaddressed by the FCC. Commenters such as me view the lack of FCC acknowledgement of these problems as jeopardizing the safety of US citizens. NPRM 16-239 attempts to remove a limit on the baud rate of High Frequency (HF) shortwave transmissions, without first addressing ongoing rule violations pertaining to proper usage of the amateur radio service, the use of obscured, private messaging which is forbidden in Part 97 rules and creates national security concerns, as well as other violations. If allowed, NPRM 16-239 would perpetuate the current violations, and would authorize obscured transmissions of unlimited bandwidth over the global airwaves, further increasing the danger to our national security, since these transmissions cannot be intercepted or eavesdropped by other amateur radio operators or the FCC.
