Default Have a Better Way to Manage the Frequency Spectrum? Prove It!!

I can think of many who have ideas on this, but only a few here could
pass the security clearance and have the ("desired" even if the ad
doesn't say it) military background and extensive expertise in a related
field. How about it, Frank? JimH? Feds need folks who are in touch with
reality when it comes to anything to do with spectum and frequency
management. Perhaps that would disqualify you both.

Somewhat true. This does seem to have someone internally identified.
Still this is published to an open job source and if a suitable
applicant from outside has the right work experience and education
level could be considered.

Considering that the majority of the frequency spectrum from 200 to
400 Mhz is DOD primary control might be a reason. Someone would need
more than casual knowledgable of some of the military communications
specs. That in itself requires a minimal security clearance. Several
other reasons I can think of. Not uncommon if one has to deal with
military spectrum usage.

Which is used mostly for air-ground operations. They also hold huge
chunks from 2.7 to 45 GHz. So?

Why? It's not like they have developed a "stealth" radio.....

I -have- dealt with military radio, from HF to microwaves. I still
don't see why allocation requires a security clearance.

As I said elsewhere, from my limited understanding is that the DoD
determines to some extent who and wh at job grades and titles require
what. Most likely there is something there that is not so obvious.

I have only specualted and I relenquish to your su perior knowledge.

It might even be a secret, huh?

Even though the frequency allocation chart is publically available and
can be downloaded directly from the FCC website, I'm perfectly willing
to entertain any insight you might have into the secret processes
involved in its construction.
