FCC Seeks to Assign Primary Status of the Entire Amateur Portion of 160 Meter Band to Amateur Radio Service, and Proposes New LF Amateur Band at 135.7-137.8 kHz

摘要

On November 20, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ET Docket No. 12-338) that proposed to amend Parts 1,2, 74,78, 87,90 and 97 of the Commission's rules. Part 97 governs the Amateur Radio Service. These changes will implement allocation decisions from the 2007 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC- 07), including changing the allocation to the amateur portion of the 160 meter band and reallocating the 1900-2000 kHz segment to the Amateur Radio Service on a primary basis, allocating a new Amateur Service band at 135.7-137.8 kHz and cleaning up the rules for the 10.0-10.5 GHz band.
