It is my understanding that there is an application from a Long
Island 1440 to relocate here and assume use of the 1530 allocation.
I am not taking the time to try and find this, right now (always a
risk, I suppose)  however it seems that if _any_ operator on 1530
has to shut down (to keep 1660 on the air) then the frequency
itself should be foreclosed to anyone, and not just the current
operator, or else the whole rationale for the x-band is suspect.

What am I missing here? Or did I miss something more recent?

Bob:

The difference is that anyone applying to reactivate the 1530 facility must 
fully comply (as a new station) with the modified interference criteria which 
were adopted in 1992 and cannot assume any grandfathered interference rights 
which were associated with the previous 1530 facility.  This has the effect of 
reducing any grandfathereed overlap (and the resulting "clutter") which was 
associated with the former 1530 facility.  This may also have a "daisy chain" 
effect by also eliminating any existing grandfathered overlap associated with the 
1440 facility.  The real "loophole" being used here is using an existing 
station from another area as the basis for such an application as a way to get 
around the ban on the filing of applications for new daytime only stations.
