§ 80.387   Frequencies for Alaska fixed stations.

   (a) The carrier frequencies listed in (b) of this section are assignable for
   point-to-point simplex radiotelephone communications between private fixed
   stations in Alaska. The frequency pairs listed in paragraph (d) of this
   section   are  assignable  for  point-to-point  duplex  radiotelephone
   communications between private and public fixed stations in Alaska. Fixed
   stations in Alaska authorized to share carrier frequencies with the maritime
   mobile service must always give priority on such frequencies to maritime
   distress, urgency and safety communications.

   (b) Alaska private-fixed station frequencies:

                        ^2 511601.5

   ^1Use of 1660.0 kHz must be coordinated to protect radiolocation on adjacent
   channels.

   ^2Peak envelope power must not exceed 1 kW for radiotelephony. Teleprinter
   use is authorized.

   ^3The frequency 5167.5 kHz is available for emergency communications in
   Alaska. Peak envelope power of stations operating on this frequency must not
   exceed 150 watts. When a station in Alaska is authorized to use 5167.5 kHz,
   such station may also use this frequency for calling and listening for the
   purpose of establishing communications.

   ^4Use of these frequencies is on a secondary basis to Region 2 broadcasting.

   ^5After April 1, 2007, use of the frequency 11601.5 kHz shall be on the
   condition that harmful interference is not caused to HF broadcasting.

   (c) Use of the frequencies in paragraph (b) of this section must meet the
   following conditions:

   (1) Communications between private coast and private fixed stations are
   prohibited; and

   (2) Station licensees must not charge for third party communication services
   between their station and any other private fixed station.

   (d) The following carrier frequency pairs are assignable for point-to-point
   communications between public fixed and private fixed stations:
   Public fixed station frequencies (kHz) Private fixed Station frequencies
   (kHz)
   ^12312.0 2632.0
   2604.0 2256.0
   2781.0 ^32474.0
   2784.0 2694.0
   3167.5 3354.0
   3180.0 2776.0
   3241.0 3357.0
   3362.0 3238.0
   ^24791.5 5207.5
   5370.0 ^45134.5,^45137.5

   ^1This frequency is assignable on a primary basis to public coast stations
   and on a secondary basis to public fixed stations.

   ^2Teleprinter use is authorized.

   ^3Peak envelope power must not exceed 1 kW.

   ^4Licensees must cease all communications on 5134.5 kHz and 5137.5 kHz when
   notified by the State of Alaska of an emergency or disaster. Licensees may
   resume communication on these frequencies when notified by the State of
   Alaska that the disaster or harmful interference has ended.

   (e) The public fixed station frequencies are assignable to common carriers.

   (f) The private fixed station frequencies described in paragraph (d) of this
   section are assignable to private entities located in areas where common
   carrier facilities are not available. Private fixed stations operating on
   the frequencies in paragraph (d) of this section, must communicate with
   public fixed stations only. Private fixed stations are permitted to provide
   third  party communications between their station and the public fixed
   stations. A charge for such service is prohibited.

   (g)  U.S.  Government frequencies will be authorized if the Commission
   determines that the assignment is in the public interest.
