Official Bulletin
Federal Communications  Commission
April 1, 2012

Due to the great success of the recent  reorganization of the 60 meter 
band, the FCC has decided to take it a step  further. 

Effective today, the FCC has created 700,000 new channels in  the 60 meter 
band and one channel will be assigned to each licensed amateur.  Every Radio 
Amateur in America will now have their own frequency.  

Because of this, the other bands are no longer necessary and have been  
shut down. 

Since everyone now has their own frequency, the terms "QRM"  and "QSY" 
are no longer needed and have been stricken from the Amateur's  
Dictionary. 

The Apple Computer Company has acquired the old bands  for use with their 
new sPad (s for shortwave) and in return, will pay off the  National Debt. 
Many thanks, Apple - we wondered how that was gonna  happen!

At Apple's request, one small change will be made in Part 97.  Everywhere 
the word "watts" appears, it will be changed to "microwatts". Seems  simple 
enough. Should be no problem. 

A great day for all Radio  Amateurs!? Write it down - April 1, 2012.
