The FCC recently rescinded the ban on power amps that work in the 11 meter band. See the arrl web site for details... Not entirely accurate... at least, not yet. They have proposed rescinding the Part 97 rule which places a whole bunch of restrictions on the manufacture and sale of amplifiers which can be used between 24 MHz and 35 MHz (the 10- and 12-meter amateur bands, and the 11-meter CB band). This change has not actually been enacted - they're inviting comments on whether it's a Good Idea or a Bad Idea. They have _not_ proposed making any change to the Part 95 rules, which currently make it illegal to actually _use_ any such amplifier with an 11-meter (CB) transmitter. So - if their proposed rule change is adopted, it'll be easier for amateurs to buy amps that can be used on 10 and 12 meters. General-purpose HF-band amplifier designs will probably be revised, to "open them up" to the higher frequencies. It will still remain illegal to use any such amplifier on the 11-meter CB band. Whether this illegality will stop anyone... well, that's another question entirely! -- Dave Platt AE6EO Hosting the Jade Warrior home page: http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will boycott any company which has the gall to send me such ads! |
