Subject: [DailyBrief] FCC amended ruling on amateur radio during drills


> 1.                  In this Report and Order, we amend the Commission's
> amateur radio service rules.[1]  Specifically, we amend the rules to
> permit amateur radio operators to transmit messages, under certain
> limited circumstances, during either government-sponsored or
> non-government sponsored emergency and disaster preparedness drills,
> regardless of whether the operators are employees of entities
> participating in the drill.  Although public safety land mobile radio
> systems are the primary means of radio-based communications for
> emergency responders, experience has shown that amateur radio has played
> an important role in preparation for, during, and in the aftermath of,
> natural and man-made emergencies and disasters.
>
> The Ruling can be found under www.fcc.gov (on their cover page) dtd July
> 14, 2010.
