Well folks, the FCC has published their Memorandum and Order on the Petitions for Reconsideration. No big changes were made by the FCC over the earlier Report & Order from December 1999. We followed the process through, the FCC read our recommendations and responded, and the final rules will be published regarding the restructuring of the Amateur Radio Service.
Now, we hams have a lot of work ahead of us. Let's pull together and do what hams have done for almost a century: Get on the air, explore, teach each other, learn from each other, welcome newcomers and honor the OM & OG operators.
Let's share the fascination we all have in radio communications, propagation, operator skills, and technology. We are in this together for the long haul.
73 ES dit dit,
