630/2200 meters to open October 16 -  Pre-registration required

CQ MF/LF Editor John Langridge, KB5NJD/WG2XIQ, reports that the FCC
has authorized amateur radio use of the 630 and 2200-meter bands,
effective October 16, 2017, providing registration procedures have
been followed and no objections are received within 30 days.

The PLC (Power Line Communications) database is live and hams may
begin registering immediately. They may begin operating on 472 kHz
(630 meters) and 137 kHz (2200 meters) as early as October 16 if they
register today and receive no objection in the next 30 days. Hams may
not operate on the bands without going through this process.

The effective date for use of the new bands by amateurs was published
in today's Federal Register. The relevant pages are at:
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2017-09-15/pdf/2017-19578.pdf

The FCC's Public Notice is at:
http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2017/db0915/DA-17-893A1.pdf

John is asking all amateurs to register, even if they don't plan to
use these bands in the near future, as the FCC rules prohibit UTC (the
Utilities Technology Council) from deploying PLC in these bands closer
than 1 kilometer from registered stations. Registration now will
protect your ability to use our new MF/LF bands in the future.
