UTC has determined that your proposed amateur radio station would not operate within a horizontal distance of one kilometer from a transmission line that conducts a power line carrier (PLC) signal in the 135.7 - 137.8 | 472.0 - 479.0 bands. An amateur operator must not operate an amateur station if UTC responds that the proposed amateur station is located within 1 km of a transmission line with a PLC system that operates on the same frequency or frequency range. Amateur operators are advised that their operations within 1 km of a PLC system could cause interference to PLC systems that are used by electric utilities to protect their electric transmission systems against faults and electrical outages. Interference from amateur operations could affect the operation of PLC systems, thereby affecting the reliability of electric utility operations. As such, amateur operators are advised not to operate any amateur stations within 1 km of a transmission line with a PLC system that operates on the same frequency or frequency range, and amateur operators will be subject to FCC enforcement for unauthorized operations, as well as potential legal liability for damages that result from interference caused by amateur operations to PLC systems. Please direct any questions to the undersigned. Mike Etzel Mike.Etzel@utc.org 202-833-6839

Hello Mike - Sounds great - I am active on JT-9, FT8 and WSPR - theusual group hangs out on WSPR (474.200 USB with audio within +/- 100hz of 1500hz) and then a few hundredHz above or below for FT8 or JT-9 when the signals build. I have been hearing VK's and ZF here in Chicagobut no EU from here. My receiver is the FT9000 tunedto 630 meters with the 80-meter dipole - for TX I built a 28 Mhz in/475 khz out tx converter that feeds the amplifier chain. The amps take the 0 Dbm in and provide a linear250 watts out. That feeds a low-pass L-network tomatch to the shunt feed on the 150' tower. The resistivefeed point portion is 2.48 ohms and I usually feed about10 amps... all this for an EIRP of about 50 milliwatts.....but I am closing in on 15 states, three countries. Not badsince antenna season doesn't officially open here untiltomorrow - 31F predicted at sunrise. The propagation is wild - sometime I cant hear Indianabut the 7's are solid copy. The call-signs are all familiar -K9MRI, K3SIW, NO3M, VE7SJ, AA1A, W3SZ - almost like a 6-meter opening! I would recommend downloading WSJT RC3 (release candidate3)and spinning the HF rig dial down there with any 80 meter dipole orlong wire - you will be amazed at what you can hear. I have hada real ball since I got on the band about ten days ago.
