at a public meeting held january 20, fcc adopted a notice of proposed
rulemaking on the volunteer exam program in response to arrls
petition.  fcc also adopted an nprm on the subject of a no code
license.  arrl believes this nprm will offer two alternatives.	one
would remove the code requirement for the technician license with
privileges limited to frequencies above 50 mhz.  the other would be a
digitally oriented license.  please note that these are proposals
only, with the texts expected to be released in early february.
