ARLB024 FCC Releases New Rules for 60 Meters 

On November 18, the FCC released a Report and Order (R&O), defining 
new rules for the 60 meter (5 MHz) band. These rules are in response 
to a Petition for Rulemaking (PRM) filed by the ARRL more than five 
years ago and a June 2010 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). In 
the R&O, the FCC replaced one of the channels in the band, increased 
the maximum authorized power amateur stations may transmit in this 
band and authorized amateur stations to transmit three additional 
emission designators in the five channels in the 5330.6-5406.4 kHz 
band (60 meters). 

The Amateur Radio Service in the United States has a secondary 
allocation on 60 meters. Only those amateurs who hold General, 
Advanced or Amateur Extra class licenses may operate on this band. 
Amateur stations must not cause harmful interference to -- and must 
accept interference from -- stations authorized by any 
administration in the fixed service, as well as mobile (except 
aeronautical mobile) stations authorized by the administrations of 
other countries. 

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE CHANGES HAVE NOT YET TAKEN EFFECT. These new 
rules will take effect 30 days after they are published in the 
Federal Register. The ARRL will announce on its website when the 
rules are published.  Additional information can currently be found 
on the web at,
