Thanks) WHAT HAPPENED, AND WHAT DO WE DO NOW... by Karl Pagel, N6BVU On Thursday. August 4, in Washington D.C., the FCC voted 3-0 to give the lower two megahertz of the 220 MHz band to the Land Mobile interests. They also gave the upper three megahertz of the band to Amateur Radio on a primary basis. As stated in #1.1O6 of the Rules and Regulations of 47 C.F.R. of the FCC, we have the right to file a "Petition For Reconsideration". This must be done within 30 days from the date of public notice (usually considered as the Federal Register) as defined in #1.4(b) of these Rules. 1. First thing to do is find a copy of the Report and Order. and read it. 2a. If you filed comments in the previous 87-14 proceeding, you need only to state in your filing that your interests are adversely affected by any action taken by the Commission. 2b. If you didn't file comments in the previous 87-14 proceedings, you will need to state with particularity the manner in which your interests are adversely affected by the action taken, and should show good reason why it was not possible for you to participate in the earlier stages of the proceedings. 3. In filing your "Petition for Reconsideration", you should also state why you think the action taken should be changed, and state specifically that the FCC should make the entire 220-225 Mhz band primary to Amateur Radio. 4. The form to be used was shown at the beginning of this bulletin. Your "Petition" has to be on standard 8 1/2" x 11" white paper, double spaced and not more than 25 pages in length. The left margin is 1 1/2" wide (for binding purposes), the right margin is 1/2" wide, & top margin is 1". Even though there are currently only 3 Commissioners at the FCC, send your original and 5 copies. You should also send a cover letter page like the one printed below. (Use your own name at the bottom of course). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 7, 1987 H. Walker Feaster, Acting Secretary Federal Communications Commission 1919 M Street, M.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION PR Docket No. 87-14 Dear Mr. Feaster, Please find enclosed here within an original and 5 copies of my PETITION FOR RECONSIDERATION on the above captioned matter. I am doing so to make sure that each Commissioner receives a copy. Very truly yours, -------------------------------------------- Karl Victor Pagel, N6BVU Post Office Box 6490 Orange, California 92613-6490 5. Mail Your "Petition for Reconsideration" and the copies and the cover letter to W. Walker Feaster the Acting FCC Secretary at his address listed above. 6. Please pass copies of this form on to as many hams as possible. One thing that was told to me on the phone from Washington last Friday was,"you hams have the potential to have the greatest lobbying group in Washington. With 400,000 hams nation-wide, if you could ever get all of them to write at the same time, on the same topic, you could get whatever you asked for and you would never have to worry again about losing any spectrum." BUT, you can never get that to happen. The most that ever wrote was about 5,000 on no-code about 6 years ago. - Karl N6BVU @ N6YN - Ed N6YN @ N6YN
