Justin - Thanks for the heads up and the reference to my 25-133 comments in ORI's Reply Comment. ORI's article that you linked is instructive. On one hand, it's kind-of encouraging that Part 5 licenses are granted so easily. But, on the other hand, the one referenced was granted too easily. There's NO spectrum in the US, DC to daylight, that isn't allocated by now to SOMETHING, and very little of it (other than unused television broadcast channels) that isn't actively in use. I agree that it's concerning that there wasn't a heads up of this experimental license for Amateur Radio spectrum, but on the other hand, that license was easy enough to discover once someone thought to look. This "pay attention to experimental licenses for Amateur Radio spectrum" would seem to be something that should be a regular "check" that is done by "someone" in Amateur Radio.
