Here is some of the local 5 area activity. The way i read the FCC ruling
looks they stood firm and didn't let the last minute comments by the special
intrest group sway the results. 3600 & up for phone.
SD
With the new FCC ruling that lowered the 80M phone band down to 3600KHz, it
was necessary to change our section's ARES PMBO 80M frequencies. As of
last evening, both the W0MAC and N5TW have shifted to their new frequencies.
With all the various services shifting around, it is quite possible that
these may shift again so watch for announcements and always pay attention to
the PMBO login banner for breaking news.
Here are the frequencies:
N5TW 3589.0 7063.9 7091.5 10148.0#
W0MAC 3592.0 7066.9 7101.2#
All frequencies are PACTOR I or II except for those with a # next to them -
# indicates a PACTOR III frequency.
Also, please note: W0MAC is now operating at it's new Cypress Creek
Emergency Call Center location. Ken KD2KW is working to cure an
interference problem with the 40M frequency so please use it sparingly until
you see a notice from him.

"Alternate spectrum from 3585 - 3600."
Does this mean that we keep the 3600 and up for voice?
Is the FCC saying these digital guys need to just move down?
I have a lot of mixed emotions about the code exam being gone.

Subject: [AMRadio] FCC ADDRESSES ARRL PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION,NO-CODE
PROPOSAL
Last part:
Finally, today's Order resolved a petition filed by the ARRL for partial
reconsideration of
an FCC Order released on October 10, 2006 (FCC 06-149). In this Order, the
FCC authorized
amateur stations to transmit voice communications on additional
frequencies
in certain amateur
service bands, including the 75 meter (m) band, which is authorized only
for
certain wideband
voice and image communications. The ARRL argued that the 75 m band should
not have been
expanded below 3635 kHz, in order to protect automatically controlled
digital stations operating
in the 3620-3635 kHz portion of the 80 m band. The FCC concluded that
these
stations can be
protected by providing alternate spectrum in the 3585-3600 kHz frequency
segment.
Action by the Commission on December 15, 2006, by Report and Order and
Order
on
Reconsideration. Chairman Martin and Commissioners Copps, Adelstein, Tate,
and McDowell.
