** The FCC has asked the assistance of the ARRL' s Amateur Auxiliary as
part of a clean-up of illegal users of the 10 meter band. In a memorandum
issued on April 28th, FCC Special Counsel Riley Hollingsworth, K4ZDH, asks
the Auxiliary's help for the next 6 months in identifying any unlicensed
operation using the 10 meter Amateur spectrum. -- Newsline
** The FCC has also launched an inquiry into the use of existing power
lines to send and receive broadband data by carrier current as some old
timers might call it. The question of radio frequency interference to
authorized spectrum users including Amateur Radio will be an important
consideration as these systems are looked at by the FCC.. --Newsline
