> In response to the October 20 ARRL Petition for Modification or
> Cancellation of Experimental Authorization (Petition) concerning an
> experimental license issued to Digital Aurora Radio Technologies (DART)
> station WE2XRH, the FCC today issued an amended license that redefines
> one of the station's frequency ranges to eliminate conflict with the
> Amateur Radio Service. This revision addresses ARRL's concern that the
> original 7.10 to 7.60 MHz range would cause unacceptable interference to
> Amateur Radio operations in the 40 meter band. The amended license
> narrows the range to 7.30 to 7.60 MHz and gives as the reason for the
> change, "operation in the band 7.1-7.3 MHz will cause harmful
> interference to Amateur Radio Service licensees."

> "We are delighted that the FCC acted so promptly to correct this error

> WE2XRH will be testing a proposed domestic broadcast service using a 20
> kHz bandwidth digital emission at a transmitter output power of 100 kW
> and an ERP of 660 kW within a radius of 1500 kilometers of Delta
> Junction, Alaska. According to the amended license, the transmissions
> will take place in the frequency ranges 4.4 to 5.1 MHz, 7.3 to 7.6 MHz
