If you'd like to help petition the FCC to protect amateur radio frequencies from commercial intrusion (on a heavily used band), FCC comment period ends TODAY (July 21) for this. Note you have to submit your name and address to enter your comment into record. You do NOT have to be an amateur radio operator to file a comment, but you do have to be in the US.

”AST & Science LLC (AST SpaceMobile) is operating satellites in the amateur radio spectrum, causing interference with amateur radio operations.
I strongly urge you to deny their request to use amateur radio frequencies for commercial use.
There are over750,000 Americans who are ham radio operators. These frequencies are vital for emergency communications via satellite and amateur radio, as well as technological advancement in the radio science by amateur radio operators.”
