Abstract:

Measurements of Federal land mobile usage, in selected mobile bands, relating to the 1989 Presidential inauguration were made using NTIA’s RSMS Van to assess Government communications requirements for a special event of national importance. This report presents the results of analyzing the band usage data. Three bands, 138–150.8 MHz (with the exception of the 144–148 MHz segment), 162.0125–174 MHz and 406.1–420 MHz had channels designated for communications relating to inaugural events. {Incomplete abstract at this time.}
