I see I typo'ed HB98O; that should have been HB9O. Sorry. At least temporarily, there is a live Webcam showing the exhibit at: http://212.243.95.83/fullsize.jpg (but there's not much detail visible).

We have to get through public comments, Report and Order, etc. Having said that, once (and if) we get through all that I see no reason why the allocations shouldn't be available quickly. 73, Dave HB9/K1ZZ P.S.

The Rochester (NY) VHF Group does a nice April (Fools) issue, you may find some of it funny and/or offensive (as intended!): http://vhfgroup.rochesterny.org/downloads/vhf%20APR%202002%20LO%20RES.PDF -- Tom

My son, KB9OBH, last year planned his wedding for May 18, 2002. Not a good choice, but of course I will be there. No Dayton for me. Next year, it is my daughter KB9OBG. At least she understands and will avoid the 2003 date.

FYI, I will be staying at the Dayton Holiday Inn, North (Wagner Ford Road exit on I-75) because it's cheaper than the Marriott - and this is where the group I ride with stays. 73 - Dick

Very good news
by W5JBP＠aol.com 10 May '02

10 May '02

Greetings to all. Later today a story will go up on our web site about the two new bands allocated to the amateur radio service. They are:135.7 to 137.8 KHz and the best of all, 5.250 to 5.400 KHz on a secondary basis. In addition, we will be elevated to primary on 2.400 to 2.402 GHz. Hopefully later today we will be able to direct you to the actual language of NPRM-FCC 02-136. All of us should be very proud of the work done by those who were experiment stations, our Washington team, and last the entire staff and board of directors. You can say with great pride that the ARRL was instrumental in obtaining these new bands for amateur radio. 73 Jim Haynie, W5JBP President

As usual, Dewayne is full of both "it" and himself. There was no release of the document yesterday. It will probably be released today. We have been expecting it for the past three days. It will propose, as expected, Amateur primary at 2400-2402 MHz, and the full 150 kHz at 5 MHz, also as expected. What WASN'T expected was that we are not going to get (right now) 160-190 kHz. We will only get the 135-137 kHz segment (the more important of the two, given international allocation of the same segment). 73, Chris, W3KD

RF lights on 2.4 GHz
by jmax＠attglobal.net 09 May '02

Here are some interesting exchanges on interference at 2.4 GHz caused by Part 18 RF lights, recently posted by WA8DZP. Some of the other users at 2.4 GHz are starting to get worried. And we should be, too. See http://www.strohpub.com/0701feat.htm and http://www.dslreports.com/forum/news,17478~root=news,17478~parent=news,17478 73. Jim, W6CF
