    FCC to ban overseas electronics testing

    โ€œThe FCC plans to tighten its requirements for testing of electronic devices made in countries such as China before they can be sold to US consumers. The Commission will review an order this month that bans device testing conducted by labs that are 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.โ€

    Brazil eliminates Morse code for radio licenses

    โ€œBrazil's telecommunications regulator, ANATEL, has two big changes planned for the nation's hams. 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.โ€

    History examines the 1922 National Radio Conference origins

    โ€œWill Rogers takes us aboard the Wayback Machine to 1922, where we find despite several attempts, no successor to the outdated 1912 radio law had yet emerged. Now it could wait no longer since things had changed so radically with the rise of broadcasting. In early March 1922, Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover convened the first national radio conference in Washington.โ€
