ARRL Seeks Waiver for Pearl Harbor Commemoration

The American Radio Relay League asked the FCC for a waiver of the commission’s Part 97 rules to communicate with military stations as part of Pearl Harbor Day commemorations Dec. 6 and 7. “As already authorized on the federal government side, the military stations will transmit on 14.375, 18.170, and 21.460 MHz,” said a filing posted Friday. “On the Amateur Radio side, operators will respond solely on frequencies being monitored and announced by the military operators, all of which will be frequencies authorized for use by Amateur Radio operators and on which all related FCC regulations will continue to apply, such as mode, maximum power, and license class,” ARRL said.
