[Elecraft] US 60 Meter Band Changes Approved by FCC - CW Issues

[Sandy]

As usual with the government and all the "ABC" agencies, there are some 
bureaucrats who think they "know" but really "Don't" know or have a clue. 
Too bad it's that way, but unfortunately, we, the end users have to roll 
with the punches. Hopefully no one screws up and pops the "big bubble" for 
all.  Same thing has been going on concerning the Coast Guard and the "600 
meters" allocations to be!

It's like a bunch of 3rd graders in a sand box!

73,

  This anomaly isn't the FCC's doing - it's NTIA's doing.  It's
  their band, their channels, and they are calling the shots.
  We're lucky to get any 60 meters at all.  I'm intimately
  familiar with how that worked.
