The feds have always had the authority to shut down radio frequencies or usurp them in time of need. That was implicit in the original legislation.

Do they have the power to do it today?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

If we're fighting a real war, I don't expect I'll be complaining about the military taking over the 1.25 meter band, and I know from history that 6 meters is gone.

If it's just because? They can expect some issues.

I totally understand that, and realize that these issues have been dealt with in the past.

But, why this, and why now, if he already had the authority?

It doesn’t make sense to me.

“If it’s just because? They can expect some issues.”

I expect they can. ;o)
