Abstract :
This article describes the method by which a new operating frequency for each of the 500 mobile-radio systems (25,000 transmitters) operated by licensees under the Power Radio Service will be selected and recommended to the Federal Communications Commission for assignment and use not later than July 1, 1950. The basic principles, conceived in March 1947 by the author, then Sponsor Representative of the Edison Electric Institute on the Radio Technical Planning Board and a member of Committee 4 of RTPB Panel 13, have been expanded and refined by a subcommittee of the National Committee for Utilities Radio of which the author was Chairman. The plan has been commended by the Commission and recommended to the consideration of other mobile services.
