[CW] FCC Releases 71 page NPRM

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

I think its wonderful that the Novices, Tech+, and Techs get the CW bands.
Finest kind.

I think it is one of the best things I've seen proposed in a long time from
the FCC.  If Bill Cross inked this, he is a master of wisdom.

Second, entry level licensees--under the current cumbersome system they are
Novices, Tech Pluses, and Technicians holding code certificates--will have
a much greater opportunity to explore CW because of the considerable new
grant of HF spectrum allocated for these beginners in the NPRM. The FCC
took word-for-word the ARRL's "refarming" petition of March 2002 in
publishing this new NPRM, which means that newcomers now have the same
access to the CW subbands as do General Clas licensees.
