This is the first instance, ofwhich I am aware, that an email has been sent from the UTC in any regard about the process that was started on September 15th. It is also the first letter of which I am aware that states the approval for coordination from the UTC for amateur operation on our new bands; I am sure that thereare many that have arrived today. This would indicate that some stations should beginoperation today. While I have been copying several of thevarious experimental stations over the past month, tonightmay be the first time I copy an amateur call-sign on 630 meters.While I did file on September 16th, I personally have not heard any reply from the UTC about my application as of the close of business today. Here in EN51, I have the 150 foot tower shunt fed with a newtuner ready to go with a 250 watt solid state transmitter - and I will be on this coming Tuesday evening should nothing arrive at the inbox prior to then.
