qst de ad7i hr arrl bulletin nr 99 from arrl headquarters newington ct november 10, 1982 to all radio amateurs bt on november 9, fcc granted a request from the jpl amateur radio club for a 90 day temporary waiver of section 97.113 to permit club stations w6vio and w5rrr to manually retransmit on amateur radio frequencies the voice communications from the space shuttle columbia. other amateurs may retransmit the transmissions from w6vio and w5rrr, but they may not directly pick up columbia communications and retransmit them. the retransmitted communications shall be for the sole benefit of licensed amateur radio operators. the transmissions are limited by fcc rules, section 97.91, to quote information bulletins consisting solely of subject matter having direct interest to the amateur radio service as such unquote. for this reason, special efforts to encourage nonamateurs to listen in should be avoided, as this could jeopardize further waivers of this nature ar
