The R&O released yesterday covers a plethora of stuff. Here are some
notes on things.


Novice bands eliminated. Novices/Tech+ have same CW Freqs as General on
80, 40, 15M. 80 and 40M.

Phone bands expanded, down to 3600 on 75M, down to 7125 on 40M.

Extra class phone segment on 75 expanded to 100kc (3600-3700), Advanced
class similarly gets 100kc (3700-3800), General will start at 3800.

This isn't in effect yet !!! But will be soon.

It's clear the FCC and the ARRL want to drive out all good hams from the
service. Little by little they'll take away the non-phone portions of the
bands and hand it over to the appliance operators. Like a frog in a pot of
water that is raised to boiling point, one day us real hams will find we
have no place to communicate on the ham bands that doesn't sound like CB.
Apparently, I'm the only one seeing it coming. A ham who will stand for
nothing will sit for anything.
