On March 27, the FCC released a First Report and Order, Further Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking and a Notice of Inquiry (ET Docket Nos. 13-84 and
03-137). The documents seek to reassess the FCCs RF exposure limits and
policies, as well as to propose changes to the FCCs rules regarding human
exposure to RF electromagnetic fields. These proposed changes would affect
the Amateur Radio Service (Part 97) rules.

Episode 71 Ten-Ten International Net
Saving 10 meters, one ham at a time
10 meters is supposed to be hopping these days, but instead, it's limping.
And when the sunspot cycle is near minimum, 10 stays dead for months on
end. 10-10 International was formed to encourage 10 meter use all the time,
initially to stave off a potential CB expansion back in the 60's. Now it's
just to have fun on this quirky band. Jeff and Gary talk to Gerry Gross
WA6POV, former 10-10 president, at the Orlando HamCation, to see what the
group is all about.
Episode 72
Digital Modes for Alabama ARES
Not just D-STAR!
Alabama hams were early D-STAR adopters, led by the ARRL Section and ARES
officials. And it's not just D-STAR. ARES hams are encouraged to experiment
and adopt a variety of digital modes, and they're in use routinely. Gary
talks to Section Manager Dave Drummond W4MD, and Assistant Section Manager
Tommy Howell KG4MPU about how it's working.
