Topband: FCC Upgrades Topband Frequency Allocations

[Mike Waters]

Below is the second paragraph in ARLB016 that I received from the ARRL via
e-mail yesterday. It sounds like the FCC is somehow sanctioning those pesky
CW fishnet beacons on 160m!

"In addition, the FCC has raised the secondary Amateur Service allocation
at 1900 to 2000 kHz to primary, while providing for continued use by
currently unlicensed commercial fishing vessels of radio buoys on the 'open
sea.' "

This statement is also at
www.arrl.org/news/fcc-proposes-to-permit-amateur-access-to-2200-and-630-meters
except that the above quote is part of the first paragraph there, and not
in a paragraph by itself as in the email.

Maybe it's just an error. Anyone have any further details?
