What a stupid thing to publish as an April Fools Day Joke.

Official Bulletin 
Federal Communications Commission 
April 1, 2012 

Due to the great success of the recent reorganization of the 60 meter band, the FCC has decided to take it a step further. 

Effective today, the FCC has created 700,000 new channels in the 60 meter band and one channel will be assigned to each licensed amateur. Every Radio Amateur in America will now have their own frequency. 

Because of this, the other bands are no longer necessary and have been shut down. 

Since everyone now has their own frequency, the terms "QRM" and "QSY" 
are no longer needed and have been stricken from the Amateur's 
Dictionary. 

The Apple Computer Company has acquired the old bands for use with their new sPad (s for shortwave) and in return, will pay off the National Debt. Many thanks, Apple - we wondered how that was gonna happen! 

At Apple's request, one small change will be made in Part 97. Everywhere the word "watts" appears, it will be changed to "microwatts". Seems simple enough. Should be no problem. 

A great day for all Radio Amateurs!? Write it down - April 1, 2012.
