Wonder if - lacking an order top stop from the FCC - I could occupy a frequency and ultimately claim squatters rights or adverse posession on the frequency if someone eventually licenses it.
- jacquesm 3y agoThe spectrum is pretty much regulated all the way up to microwave bands and beyond.
- shagie 3y agoYou can get a poster of the radio spectrum for a very reasonable price (shipping included!) at https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/united-states-frequency-allocations-radio-spectrum-poster https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/united-states-frequency-a... (it's currently backordered).

- Spooky23 3y agoNo. The airwaves belong to the public, as licensed by the FCC. You don’t have any squatters rights to the airwaves.
- s1artibartfast 3y agoI'm not talking about durable squatters right. More akin swimming in the ocean or hiking a cross a field
- Spooky23 3y agoThe FCC hasn’t historically supported that. One of the early FM pioneers was ruined when Sarnoff lobbied to allocate his frequencies for another purpose, for example.
