>In a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) late last fall, the FCC
>proposed on behalf of the National Telecommunications and
>Information Administration (NTIA) to vastly increase the size of the
>geographical area in New Mexico and western Texas where amateurs in
>the 70 cm band would be limited to 50 W PEP to protect military
>radiolocation service operations.
>
>The proposed region has 67 affected repeaters. ARRL said the
>proposed area is ''in most respects far beyond line-of-sight paths to
>any military facilities.''
>
>The ARRL asked the FCC and NTIA to cooperatively evaluate the
>restriction, which could also affect weak-signal operations, to
>determine whether it is overly broad.
>
>Concerning the wind profilers, the League said it had understood
>that the National Weather Service, which operates the radars, would
>notify ARRL of their locations as selected. ''Ideally,'' the League
>said, ''since the amateur repeaters are incumbent in the band now,
>the National Weather Service should select sites that minimize the
