HAMS WEIGH IN ON FCC INVITATION FOR REGULATION COMMENTS

Suggestions varied widely among hams who responded to the FCC’s invitation – but for the most part there appeared to be a strong call for continued regulation of amateur radio with no changes to the three-tier license system or testing. Some hams did request changes - either that the license system be streamlined - or simply be eliminated.

The spectrum appeared to be a major concern, as some hams pressed the FCC to retain amateur privileges on the current bands. The FCC has set April 28th as the deadline for reply comments. All filings on the FCC website should be made in reference to Docket Number 25-133.
