Yep, what Tom said, Ned. Your first post on ODV? Good grief..... I've never know you to be that quiet!

I was briefing the Southern AZ DX Association on the most recent EC proposed regulation by bandwidth plan. I was questioned by an astute listener as what happens to the CW-only sub bands for the Technician (P) class operators on the HF bands. Even if the ARRL or other entity is authorized to define HF band plans, the FCC surely must still regulate the frequency authorizations for license classes. How does sub band plans regulated by an entity other than the FCC remain de-conflicted from FCC licensing privileges? Does the amateur radio-based regulator recommend and coordinate adjustments to FCC license frequency bands as part of the process? Ned Stearns AA7A Southwestern Division Vice Director
