FOLLOWING FROM NOVEMBER 10 ISSUE OF ARRL LETTER 10 METER ALLOCATIONS... THE FCC RELEASED AN ORDER NOVEMBER 2 DECLINING TO ALLOCATE ADDITIONAL FREQUENCIES FOR TEN METER REPEATERS, PR DOCKET 83-483. THE DENIAL WAS BASED ON THE ADVERSE IMPACT WHICH COULD OCCUR TO OTHER OPERATIONS, PARTICULARLY AMATEUR SATELLITES, AND UPON THE LACK OF A COMPELLING NEED. AS AUTHORIZED BY THE ARRL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, ARRL HAD FILED COMMENTS IN JULY REQUESTING DENIAL BASED ON SIMILAR REASONING. SEE ARRL LTR VOL 2 NR 16 AND OCT 1983 QST P60.
