==> FCC NEWS: FCC PROPOSES ADDITIONS, CHANGES TO AMATEUR 5 MHZ
ALLOCATION

Acting on a 2006 Petition for Rulemaking filed by the ARRL, the FCC has
issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM), ET Docket No 10-98 to
modify the rules that govern amateurs' secondary use of five

   channels in the 5 MHz frequency range known as 60 meters. The
proposed changes would substitute a new channel for one that is seldom
available because of occupancy by the fixed service, which is primary
in this range. Also proposed is an increase in power from 50 to 100 W
effective radiated power (ERP) and the addition of CW, PSK31 and
PACTOR-III modes with provisions to ensure that such operations would
be compatible with the primary service. Read more here
