The FCC's Report and Order in WT Docket 04-140, the "omnibus" proceeding
that, among other things, greatly expanded the voice subbands on 75, 40 and
15 meters, was published today in the Federal Register. Since the new rules
take effect 30 days after publication in the Register, the effective date
the new phone band limits is December 15, 2006. The appropriate pages in the
Federal Register may be viewed at

As of December 15, the 75-meter phone band will begin at 3600 kHz, the
40-meter phone band will start at 7125 kHz and the General Class phone band
on 15 meters will begin at 21,275 kHz.
