NO NEED for a report and order on the fr.

Since the FC already publically announced the acceptance of no code, that
effectively permits anyone with a CSCE for general or technician class
element 2 CSCE or license to use HF SSB NOW in the permitted frequencies.

There is no statute that requires publication in the FR before a
requirement is effective, only that the regulating agency agree in
principal to the new requirement. Such a statute would obviously be
unconstitutional. It is merely a government formality which cannot be
enforced by the courts.


I doubt it. Until it shows in the Federal Registry, the old rules are
still in force. And then the old rules stay alive until 30 days elapses.

Besides, if all someone has are CSCEs, they don't even have a callsign, so
how could they operate?

And those CSCEs will NOT be accepted for processing for the upgrade until
the effective date listed in the Federal Register. So if the CSCE expires
before that effective date, they will have to retest.
