Chuamuangphan's operator license for amateur Station DC1DWD be modified to upgrade from General
Class to Amateur Extra Class amateur radio operator privileges.1 Based on this application, the

information now before us, it appears that the grant of Amateur Extra Class operator privileges to

7. Conclusion. For the reasons stated above, we conclude that the grant of Amateur Extra Class
amateur radio operator privileges was improper. Accordingly, we propose to modify the amateur service
operator license for amateur station KC1DWD by replacing Amateur Extra Class operator privileges with
General Class operator privileges.

CFR § 1.87, that the license of Nattapong Chuamuangphan for amateur service Station KC1DWD BE
MODIFIED by replacing Amateur Extra Class operator privileges with General Class operator privileges.
