“The Commission will review an order this month that bans device testing conducted by labs that are, quote, owned or controlled directly by entities that pose national security risks. According to a statement by FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr, he identified China as one example of such a country. He said it was important that US-based laboratories begin to take on the responsibility to certify such equipment.”

“The Brazilian regulator will no longer require Morse code for amateur licenses under the changes that have been under consideration since 2020. The regulator will update content in its exams for its three license classes. This is one of several changes contained in a resolution released on April 28th by ANATEL. The resolution also grants hams the ability to operate on citizens' band 11 meter frequencies.”

“ARDC has awarded a second grant to the Internet Archives Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications. The grant will allow Dlarc to continue curating and preserving historical content related to Ham Radio for an additional two years. The library includes a plethora of content from club newsletters to software to old printed call books that date back to the early 1900s.”

“The resolution also grants hams the ability to operate on citizens' band 11 meter frequencies. They must identify with their call signs and are limited to 10 watts of power in AM and 25 watts of power in SSB. They must also stay within authorized channels. The regulator expects to move ahead with these changes after a six months period in which supplementary regulations will also be issued.”
