USA 75 & 40m phone bands to be expanded
http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_publi...C-06-149A1.pdf
http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/10/11/100/?nc=1 Effective sometime in November (probably), the 75 and 40-meter phone bands will be expanded to 3600-4000 and 7125-7300KHz respectively for stations on the U.S. mainland. (for Extra Class licensees. The expansions will be somewhat less for General and Advanced Class but they will still see expansion. General Class licensees will also get an extra 25KHz of phone spectrum on 15 meters but this will be entirely within the existing Advanced/Extra phone band) There are (many) other changes to the USA rules but this is probably the one change that will be obvious to DX operators working the USA. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

I must not have read that right. Only the first 25 khz of the forty meter band will be reserved for cw, and that's it?

What no-coder thought this up? -- Charles Hohenstein 7100-7125 is Novice CW. 7000-7150 is currently CW, so they drop it to 7125, that means you still have 7000-7125 for CW ... Most DX is on 7000-7050 anyway, so it wont effect you much will it. Or are you just looking to harp on no-coders again Scotty W7PSK |

I read it as CW-only for the first 125 KHz, instead of the current first 150 KHz. My fault totally. Somehow I read 7125 and my aging brain registered 7025. Now that I know that phone won't start at 7025, I'm satisfied. -- Charles Hohenstein To reply, remove Gene Robinson "The sad huddle of affluent bedwetters, thumbsuckers, treehuggers, social climbers, homophiles, quavery ladies, and chronic petition signers that makes up the current Episcopal Church . . ."--Thomas Lipscomb |
