HR ARRL BULLETIN NR 16  FROM ARRL HEADQUARTERS
NEWINGTON CT  FEBRUARY 21, 1986
TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS BT

FCC HAS AMENDED SECTION 97.61A OF THE AMATEUR RULES  TO  PERMIT
F2A EMISSION IN THE 29.5 TO 29.7 MHZ REPEATER SUBBAND.

ARRL HAD PETITIONED FOR THE AMENDMENT SO THAT F2A EMISSION, THE
PRIMARY  MODE  USED  TO  IDENTIFY  BY  TELEGRAPHY  AMATEUR  F3E
EMISSION REPEATERS, WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE 10 METER REPEATER
SUBBAND.   FCC  ALSO EDITORIALLY AMENDED SECTION 97.61A TO SHOW
F2A EMISSION IN OTHER AMATEUR BANDS WHERE REPEATER OPERATION IS
AUTHORIZED.   THE  COMMISSION  SAID THE AMENDMENT WAS NECESSARY
BECAUSE  THE  EMISSION  DESIGNATOR   F2A   HAD   BEEN   OMITTED
INADVERTENTLY  FROM  THOSE  BANDS  WHEN  THE  PREVIOUS EMISSION
DESIGNATORS WERE CONVERTED TO THE NEW SYSTEM  AR
