The FCC has invited public comments on ARRL’s 2018 Petition for Rule Making, now designated as RM-11828, which asks the FCC to expand HF privileges for Technician licensees to include limited phone privileges on 75, 40, and 15 meters, plus RTTY and digital mode privileges on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters. Interested parties have 30 days to comment.

We encourage our members to comment in support of RM-11828. Expanding Technician Class License privileges to include digital and SSB phone options on more of the HF bands is just what we need to make the first level Amateur Radio License more fun, a better learning experience, and a more effective bridge to upgrading to General Class privileges. We believe this will encourage New Hams to get active on the air and after a taste of HF, will encourage them to upgrade to General.

The referenced ARRL article provides more information on the proposal along with instructions on how to comment to the FCC.
