eHam.net News — (Hicksville, NY, Feb. 15, 2017) — As ham radio operators in the United States await final FCC action to open new amateur bands at 630 meters (472-479 kHz) and 2200 meters (135.7 kHz – 137.8 kHz), CQ magazine is getting a head-start by introducing a column that will help interested hams get ready to “hit the ground running” once the FCC issues its final rules. The new column – to be titled “MF/LF Operating: Life Below the AM Broadcast Band” – will appear quarterly, starting in the April 2017 issue, and will be edited by John Langridge, KB5NJD/WG2XIQ.

eHam.net News — Sacramento Valley ARES Section Emergency
Coordinator Greg Kruckewitt, KG6SJT, reported this week that Amateur
Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers actively supported
communication for the evacuation and sheltering of nearly 200,000
people living below the damaged Oroville Dam in rural California. The
dam, on the Feather River east of Oroville, is the tallest in the US.
Following a period of heavy rain, a section of the earthfill-embankment
dam’s spillway eroded, and authorities ordered residents living below
the dam to evacuate, in case the dam should fail. Crews have been
attempting to fill the eroded area with rock transported by helicopter.
On February 14, authorities lifted the mandatory evacuation order, but
said it could be re-imposed, if necessary. Residents returning home
were advised to remain vigilant, should the situation again become
critical, and some ARES activity continues.

eHam.net News — The FCC has invited comments on the ARRL’s January 12 Petition for Rule
Making
to allocate a new, secondary contiguous 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 —

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.
