Revised Amateur Radio frequency allocations, band plans, rules ready (Dec 14, 2006) -- Revised Amateur Radio allocations go into effect at 12:01 AM Eastern Time (0501 UTC) on Friday, December 15. The Amateur Radio frequency allocation chart and the ARRL Band Plans on the ARRL Web site will automatically update at that time. Affected bands are 80/75, 40 and 15 meters. As of December 14, the FCC had not acted on the League's Petition for Reconsideration calling on the Commission to postpone the allocation change for 3600 to 3635 kHz while it considers a request to maintain the status quo in that segment. Revised FCC Part 97 Amateur Service rules reflecting all changes detailed in the FCC "omnibus" Report and Order (R&O) in WT Docket 04-140, will become available on the ARRL Web site as soon as they go into effect.
