These rules are in response<BR>to a Petition for Rulemaking (PRM) filed by the ARRL more than five<BR>years ago and a June 2010 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM). In<BR>the R&O, the FCC replaced one of the channels in the band, increased<BR>the maximum authorized power amateur stations may transmit in this<BR>band and authorized amateur stations to transmit three additional<BR>emission designators in the five channels in the 5330.6-5406.4 kHz<BR>band (60 meters).<BR><BR>The Amateur Radio Service in the United States has a secondary<BR>allocation on 60 meters. Only those amateurs who hold General,<BR>Advanced or Amateur Extra class licenses may operate on this band.<BR>Amateur stations must not cause harmful interference to -- and must<BR>accept interference from -- stations authorized by any<BR>administration in the fixed service, as well as mobile (except<BR>aeronautical mobile) stations authorized by the administrations of<BR>other countries.<BR><BR>PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE CHANGES HAVE NOT YET TAKEN EFFECT. These new<BR>rules will take effect 30 days after they are published in the<BR>Federal Register. The ARRL will announce on its website when the<BR>rules are published.
