[arrl-odv:35330] FCC Adopted Symbol Rate Item
ODV, Earlier today the FCC Commissioners individually voted on the amateur symbol rate item and released it before the scheduled agenda meeting on Wednesday. It is now final action, copy attached. (It has been removed from Wednesday’s FCC meeting agenda.) It is as expected, including the minor change we requested last week. (Early adoption is not unusual when it is unanimous and the Commissioners may wish more time at the public meeting for controversial items on Wednesday.) Dave David R.

This is great news! Thank you so much Dave for all you've done to shepherd this through. This is some real positive change to remove an antiquated view of regulation. I’ve already heard from some haters about how this is the end of ham radio. Haters gonna hate. It’s going to be fine.

Thanks to everyone for your help with this, especially John N5AUS and the LAC for allowing this issue to be added at the end of their agenda in a number of meetings on Capitol Hill over the last year. And the letter that John Stratton obtained from the Texas Department of Public Safety played an outsized role, as one can tell by it being referenced several times in the FCC decision. As a result of those meetings multiple Capitol Hill offices contacted the FCC on this matter, but Congresswoman Lesko’s personal interest and direct questions to the FCC Chairwoman at a hearing made the difference, and those came about because of the LAC’s efforts. That got the FCC’s attention. 73, Dave K3ZJ From: "Arthur I.

From the Second ARRL Board Meeting, 2013:
25. On behalf of the Ad Hoc Symbol Rate Rule Modernization Committee, Dr. Woolweaver moved, seconded by Mr. Bodson, that: WHEREAS the symbol rate restrictions presently in Section 97.307(f) of the FCC Rules no longer reflect the state of the art of digital telecommunications technology; and WHEREAS it is in the interests of all amateurs to encourage both flexibility and efficiency in the employment of digital emissions by amateur stations; IT IS RESOLVED, that the General Counsel is directed to prepare and file a Petition for Rulemaking seeking the modification of Section 97.307(f) to delete all references to symbol rate and to apply to all amateur data emissions below 29.7 MHz the existing bandwidth limit, per Section 97.303(h), of 2.8 kHz It has been a long ten (plus) years, but it finally happened! RIP, Director (HVP) Dennis Bodson (SK). I’m also pleased that the FCC is proposing to eliminate the symbol rate in the LF, MF, VHF and UHF bands. Perhaps even better, the FCC was fully supportive of the ARRL’s position. I haven’t seen that stance in quite some time. ‘73 de Jim N2ZZ Director – Roanoke Division Representing ARRL members in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia ARRL – the national association for Amateur Radio Facebook Page: ARRL Roanoke Division Website: <http://www.arrl-roanoke.org/> www.arrl-roanoke.org From: arrl-odv <arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org> On Behalf Of david davidsiddall-law.com Sent: Monday, November 13, 2023 5:58 PM To: arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org <arrl-odv@arrl.org> Subject: [arrl-odv:35330] FCC Adopted Symbol Rate Item Importance: High ODV, Earlier today the FCC Commissioners individually voted on the amateur symbol rate item and released it before the scheduled agenda meeting on Wednesday.
