FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Correction to News Release on DX Contest Rules

In a News Release dated December 23, 1997, it was announced that:  *The ARRL 
Contest Advisory Committee and the ARRL Awards Committee have voted in favor 
of a change in rules for multioperator single- and *two-transmitter* 
categories regarding permitted band changes.  The current rules require a 
station to remain on a band for at least 10 minutes once operation has begun 
on that band.  The new rule, which will not take effect until the 1998 
contest, allows for 6 band changes per hour. This does not allow more 
changes in an hour than the present rule, but it does allow a station to 
quit an unproductive band after a single contact.*

That release contained a clerical error, and should not have included the 
multioperator two-transmitter category in the rules change.  The new rule 
will apply only to multioperator single-transmitter entries only.

As a further clarification, the allowed 6 band changes are for a clock hour, 
and not just per arbitrary 60-minute period.

The rules change does not go into effect until 1998.

Subject: VANITY:: How do I get info from FCC?
Message-ID: <v02120d05af0190a41f1c@[192.77.86.74]>

I submitted an electronic 610V on December 6th. Now, 39 days later, still
nothing.

Does anyone have a method by which to obtain status of a pending application?

Please Email direct, not to group.
