Below is the second paragraph in ARLB016 that I received from the ARRL via e-mail yesterday. It sounds like the FCC is somehow sanctioning those pesky CW fishnet beacons on 160m!
"In addition, the FCC has raised the secondary Amateur Service allocation at 1900 to 2000 kHz to primary, while providing for continued use by currently unlicensed commercial fishing vessels of radio buoys on the 'open sea.' " This statement is also at www.arrl.org/news/fcc-proposes-to-permit-amateur-access-to-2200-and-630-meters except that the above quote is part of the first paragraph there, and not in a paragraph by itself as in the email. Maybe it's just an error. Anyone have any further details? 73, Mike www.w0btu.com _________________ Topband Reflector Archives - http://www.contesting.com/_topband
