VIA EPA Section- WB3W
The FCC has just published Order 17-33A1 that adopts rules to implement
certain radio frequency allocation decisions from the World
Radiocommunication Conference (Geneva, 2012) (WRC-12) and conforms the
United States  rules to the WRC-12 Final Acts.

The FCC order addresses five band changes including one that has added
two new bands to our Amateur Radio Service.

The one provision that pertains to the Amateur Service is to:

Allocate the 472-479 kHz band to the amateur service on a secondary
basis and amend
Part 97 to provide for amateur service use of this band and of the
135.7-137.8 kHz band.

There are some restrictions that apply. To read the entire FCC 10-33
order in pdf format and see the details of the new band allocations
