I haven't given it much thought due to this statement issued from the ARRL in the original announcement a few months ago:

"For stations already in place, that evaluation must be completed by May 3, 2023.

After May 3 of this year, any new station, or any existing station modified in a way that’s likely to change its RFE profile — such as different antenna or placement or greater power — will need to conduct an evaluation by the date of activation or change."

Well, I haven't made any changes, nor do I expect to.

Also, this statement was in the last sentence of the original ARRL bulletin :

"In addition, ARRL is developing tools that all hams can use to perform exposure assessments"

So….I now await the ARRL announcement about new tools being made available.

All,

Just curious if anyone has started to deal with these rules yet, They go into effect 3 May 2021. We as hams are no longer excluded but must be in compliance The issue for us is going to be the need to do a "full analysis" on 2m 222, 70cm and above..

As Winnie the Pooh would say, "Oh bother!"
