The April meeting is just a few weeks before our next big event - The Delta Century Bike Ride on Saturday, May 3rd.  The Delta Century Ride starts at Jessie's grove Winery on Turner Rd and travels the historic Delta Waterfront towns of Courtland, Clarksburg and Walnut Grove.  We need as many members as possible to man Net Control, SAG support, rest stops and more.  This is a great opportunity for new hams to get started in EmComm and learning how to operate a public service event.

ARRL to Gather Comments from Members on FCC's Public Notice

March 21, 2025

 

Dear ARRL Member,

 

On March 12, 2025, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued a Public Notice titled "In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete," seeking input from the public on FCC rules that may be outdated, unnecessary, or in need of modification. This inquiry is part of the FCC's ongoing effort to alleviate regulatory burdens across various services, including the Amateur Radio Service.

 

As part of this review, ARRL is conducting a thorough examination of the provisions in Part 97 and related rules that affect amateur radio operators. ARRL's written comments, which will be prepared by our FCC Counsel and the ARRL Executive Committee, will include consideration of feedback we received from members.

 

Members who want to share comments and concerns about this matter are urged to share your feedback directly with ARRL. Please submit your comments by March 31, 2025 and use the following feedback form:

 

www.arrl.org/fcc-public-notice-march-2025

 

ARRL will submit our official filing to the FCC by the April 11 deadline. After that, there will be an opportunity for reply comments at the FCC until April 28, and then later, opportunities for public comment on any rules the FCC proposes to delete or modify.

 

While the FCC Public Notice is a broad inquiry that does not single out any specific radio service, ARRL is nonetheless committed to protecting the Amateur Radio Service, promoting its public interest goals, and ensuring your right to access radio spectrum.

 

ARRL will continue to work on this matter, and we will inform members as more news develops.

 

Thank you,

 

73

 

ARRL Executive Committee
