a pin I shouldn't have ignored

Your action is vital to keeping the 900 Mhz network open to all!

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is currently allowing public comment on a proposal by NextNav Inc. that would reconfigure the 902-928 MHz band used by amateur radio and #Meshtastic, and replace it with a backup GPS system.

At the very least, this is likely to disrupt range and performance of Meshtastic devices- but the implications could be far wider.

Crichton at Meshtastic has a detailed writeup (https://meshtastic.org/blog/meshtastic-opposition-to-nextnav-proposed-changes/) at the Meshtastic blog, as well as a published opposition letter (https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0071/3772/files/Opposition_Letter.pdf) from Meshtastic President JM Casler. We encourage all to read Crichton's post to get a full understanding of the FCC proposal and the negative effects it would have on the Meshtastic community.

Take action before September 20th, 2024

The fastest way to take action is to submit an Express Comment at the FCC website. Here is a direct link with docket number pre-filled (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express?proceeding%5Bname%5D=24-240).

Makes me realize how toxic/distracting Twitter had gotten and how peaceful I am feeling now by focusing only on things that truly matter.

Thank you.
