FCC Invites Comments on ARRL Petition to Allocate New 5 MHz Band:

The FCC has invited comments on the ARRL’s January 12 Petition for
Rule Making to allocate a new, contiguous secondary band at 5 MHz to
the Amateur Service. The League also asked the Commission to keep
four of the current five 60-meter channels – one would be within the
new band – as well as the current operating rules, including the 100
W PEP effective radiated power (ERP) limit. The federal government
is the primary user of the 5 MHz spectrum. The FCC has designated
the League’s Petition as RM-11785 and put it on public notice.
Comments are due Monday, March 20. ARRL plans to file comments in
support of its petition.
