The FCC, earlier today, has issued a Notice of Proposed Rule Making in regards to an ARRL petition to change the Spread Spectrum rules.
Of key note is the elimination of the Automatic Power Control rules, which the ARRL proposed, and a subsequent reduction in maximum Spread Spectrum power from 100 W to 10 W ERP, which the ARRL did NOT propose.
There are also several other proposed changes in the rules for Novice and Tech rules, and some other adjustments in the rules.
