==AMATEUR RADIO POISED TO STAY WITHIN FCC WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS
BUREAU

The FCC approved a proposal March 17 to create a new Public Safety and
Homeland Security Bureau (PS&HSB) that would assume some functions now
under
the umbrella of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (WTB). But it
appears
that the Amateur Radio Service--now within the WTB's Public Safety and
Critical Infrastructure Division, headed by Michael J. Wilhelm,
WS6BR--will
remain within the WTB, according to Anthony Dale, Acting Director of
the
FCC's Office of Managing Director (OMD).

"The Critical Infrastructure piece--that's things like taxi cabs,
Amateur
Radio, chemical plants, all that type of thing--those are not public
safety-specific functions," Dale said in response to a reporter's
question
following the FCC open meeting. "The plan is to keep those in the
Wireless
Bureau."
nice to have somethng to discuss

OTOH WE are NOT seen as a public saety function. HMMMM not good for
the safety of ARS freqs id say
