</a>Of particular interest to hams, the Report and Order (R&O)
pertaining to WRC-07 <br>
*<x-tab> </x-tab>Allocates the
135.7-137.8 kHz band (2200 meter band) to the amateur service on a
secondary basis<br>
*<x-tab> </x-tab>Raises the
secondary amateur service allocation in the 1900-2000 kHz band to primary
status, while <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>providing
for continued use by commercial fishing vessels of radio buoys on the
open sea<br><br>
The document includes an extensive rehash of the Power Line Carrier (PLC)
arguments -- the power companies<br>
complaining about the interference they contend will result from amateur
operations in a shared band. Given<br>
that experimental ham operations and some commercial operations in the
band have not interfered with PLC,<br>
the Commission is inclined to create an amateur allocation with certain
restrictions. Details available in the<br>
R&O.<br><br>
