One item from FCC in today's Federal Register (Vol 72, Number 2)

It's not the Report and Order, though.

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.

The FCC did not publish an effective date nor did they choose to publish one
in the federal register. That means you can transmit SSB voice at this very
moment.

Go ahead element 2 or 3 CSCE'S or tech license holders, you can transmit
NOW! I look forward to seeing you on the bands (though I do spend a lot of
time in the CW portions).
