The @FCC's current rules will harm public safety communications in the 6 GHz band & must be fixed; it would be irresponsible of the FCC to further loosen restrictions that would lead to even more interference https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/106290135902318/APCO%20Comments%20-%206%20GHz%20FNPRM%20-%20June%202020%20Final.pdf
