the EC voted unanimously to direct ARRL General Counsel Chris Imlay, W3KD, to file the petition as drafted in accordance with the Board's wishes, once the EC completes its final review. That appears likely to occur by year's end.

a presentation to federal government spectrum managers regarding a possible expansion of amateur privileges in the vicinity of 5 MHz has been prepared and is being scheduled.


Huh? :o

Great, just what we need. Give us more "channels", so more useless nets can be started. Better yet, why not just propose to the commission that all amatuer frequencies be divied into channels. Sure would eleiminate the need for those pesky and overly complicated thingy's some guys call a VFO. ::)

This will never happen because the NTIA will just scream "9/11...9/11", and it will be all over but the shoutin'.
