Hello all...

60 METERS CHANGES. The U.S. Federal Communications Commission released  a
"REPORT AND ORDER" on November 18, 2011, with new 5 MHz rules for  the
Amateur Radio Service. The effective date is 30 days after  publication
in the Federal Register. Some of the FCC changes are to now allow  Phone
(Upper Sideband), RTTY, Data, and CW; with specific limitations on  the
use of these modes, as well as the maximum allowed power level is  now
100 watts PEP (ERP) effective radiated power referenced to a dipole.  The
FCC has deleted a channel and added a channel. The new 60 meter  channel
list (for General, Advanced, or Amateur Extra Class license only) is  as
follows (Suppressed Carrier):
VFO Dial  frequency
------------------
5330.5 kHz USB  (center of channel = 5332.0)
5346.5 kHz USB (center of channel  = 5348.0)
5357.0 kHz USB (center of channel = 5358.5)  New!
5371.5 kHz USB (center of channel = 5373.0)
5403.5 kHz USB (center of channel = 5405.0)
PLEASE NOTE: The FCC  deleted the channel 5366.5 USB (center=5368.0)
and "replaced it" with channel  5357.0 kHz USB (center=5358.5).
