[PPRAANet] WT Docket No. 04-140 - The "Omnibus" Amateur Radio Report and Order

[JIMMY D HARRIS]

Hi,

This particular R&O does NOT contain new ID requirements as I had earlier 
mentioned.  There are two proposals before the FCC to change ID requirements 
but were not included in the just (11/15/6) published changes.  It will be 
several months before we see them if ever.  My apology for causing any 
unnecessary strain to anyone.  The ARRL discussed the just released R&O and 
the proposed ID changes at about the same time and it confused me.  Again, 
my apology.

My thanks to Bob Witte, K0NR and Mike Stansberry, K0TER for pointing out the 
error of my ways.

Have a great day and 73,

Jim, AB0UK
