The R&O released yesterday covers a plethora of stuff. Here are some notes
on things.


Novice bands eliminated. Novices/Tech+ have same CW Freqs as General on 80,
40, 15M. 80 and 40M.

Phone bands expanded, down to 3600 on 75M, down to 7125 on 40M.

Extra class phone segment on 75 expanded to 100kc (3600-3700), Advanced
class similarly gets 100kc (3700-3800), General will start at 3800.

This isn't in effect yet !!! But will be soon.

Hey, Ace.

If you're going to cut and paste the message from me to
from yesterday, at least give me credit, huh?

Here's my message --- compare it to yours....

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The R&O released today covers a plethora of stuff. On a quick read,
here are my notes on things that interested me.


1) Novice bands eliminated. Novices/Tech+ have same CW QRGs as General
on 80, 40, 15M. 80 and 40M phone bands expanded, down to 3600 on 75M,
down to 7125 on 40M. Extra phone segment on 75 expanded to 100kc
(3600-3700), Advanced similarly gets 100kc (3700-3800), General now
starts at 3800.

2) ISS communications can now be retransmitted (as shuttle comms have
been allowed up to now).

3) You can now designate a specific club to get your call "in
memorium".

4) People who flood FCC with many vanity applications on the same day
will have all but one application rejected.

(There's a lot of other 'less interesting to me until I read the
details' stuff in there too, much of it "housekeeping" in nature.)

It's clear the FCC and the ARRL want to drive out all good hams from the
service. Little by little they'll take away the non-phone portions of the
bands and hand it over to the appliance operators. Like a frog in a pot of
water that is raised to boiling point, one day us real hams will find we
have no place to communicate on the ham bands that doesn't sound like CB.
Apparently, I'm the only one seeing it coming. A ham who will stand for
nothing will sit for anything.

It is very usefull to all the good hams in prison when they are only
allowed a tin cup to rattle
in leau of a good conversation. They usually discard the tin cup when
released into the real world, except when begging!

This needed to be down years ago. Good to see the ARRL and the FCC are
listening to the active Amateurs and doing what the majority want.

Interesting to know that Phone operators are appliance operators and CW
operators are not. I guess the CW operators are all using Homebrew
equipment and if not then I hope at least that every one of them that
own a Yaesu FT-1000MP / D have done the CW modification and did it them
selves without senting it to a repair place ?

Define "majority".
Define "what the majority want".
