== FCC AMENDS WE2XRH EXPERIMENTAL LICENSE

In response to the October 20 ARRL Petition for Modification or
Cancellation of Experimental Authorization (Petition) concerning an
experimental license issued to Digital Aurora Radio Technologies (DART)
station WE2XRH, the FCC today issued an amended license that redefines
one of the station's frequency ranges to eliminate conflict with the
Amateur Radio Service. This revision addresses ARRL's concern that the
original 7.10 to 7.60 MHz range would cause unacceptable interference to
Amateur Radio operations in the 40 meter band. The amended license
narrows the range to 7.30 to 7.60 MHz and gives as the reason for the
change, "operation in the band 7.1-7.3 MHz will cause harmful
interference to Amateur Radio Service licensees."

"We are delighted that the FCC acted so promptly to correct this error
and are pleased that the matter has been resolved," said ARRL CEO David
Sumner, K1ZZ.

WE2XRH will be testing a proposed domestic broadcast service using a 20
kHz bandwidth digital emission at a transmitter output power of 100 kW
and an ERP of 660 kW within a radius of 1500 kilometers of Delta
Junction, Alaska. According to the amended license, the transmissions
will take place in the frequency ranges 4.4 to 5.1 MHz, 7.3 to 7.6 MHz
and 9.25 to 9.95 MHz.
