From an ARRL email:

International Morse code and of various digital codes in the amateur

to reflect changes in the international Radio Regulations."

Well, not exactly. I should have checked it out before quoting the
ARRL. But the FCC also claims to have revised the definition when only
providing a new pointer...

From the FCC:


"Sections 97.3 and 97.309: We revise the definition of "International
Morse code" and various digital codes in the Amateur Radio Service
rules because these definitions have been updated in the current Radio
Regulations. Specifically, we note that previous Radio Regulation
references to International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative
Committee Recommendations have been superseded by references to other
recommendations. Accordingly, we revise Sections 97.3(a)(27) and
97.309(a) to conform to the current Radio Regulations definitions."
