I'm considering building an analyzer to get some basic spectral use. Given the rural nature I assume spectrum could be fairly clean but yes, cellular operators gobbling up spectrum is a concern.

Don't hold your breath. The availability of TVWS spectrum varies (a lot) by region, and many areas do not have enough usable spectrum available to make it anything more than a curiosity. Add to the fact, that they keep "chipping away" at the spectrum and selling it off to the big cellular operators, the odds look increasingly long for anything reasonable to happen. There has been almost zero development of equipment designed to use the spectrum as well. The paltry equipment that I've seen has also been upside down in terms of value too. TVWS, or the promise of it has been "just around the corner" now for over half a decade. I do not believe it will ever work out. Of course, we can always revert to magical thinking like "It will appear in August, like magic.". Naw. That ain't gonna happen. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 6/16/2020 11:01 AM, D.
