ARLB062 FCC terminates Communications Emergency
Effective October 10 at 1700z, the FCC has terminated its declared
communications emergency at the request of the ARRL. The FCC ordered
the communications emergency during Hurricane Lili, which affected
several Gulf Coast states. The FCC has announced that amateurs may
resume routine use of the frequencies 3873 kHz and 7285 kHz, plus or
minus 3 kHz.
"The Federal Communications Commission wishes to thank everyone for
their cooperation and dedicated amateur service," said Joseph P.
Casey, chief of the Technical and Public Safety Division within the
FCC's Enforcement Bureau.
