Re: [AMRadio] Old Novice Days

[Joe Crawford]

Did more research. The date was November 15th, 1972. The FCC changed the 40m 
Novice band,they authorized the use of VFO's by Novices, and Novices got 
28.1-28.2 CW. I remember borrowing a VF-1 to go on the borrowed HW-16 as the 
40m crystals I had were useless.Had a note in my logbook about changes. Lots 
of changes over the years, but that was the most at one time.

Joe - I just dug out my musty old 1973 ARRL Handbook, and on page 14 it
shows the Novice band on 7100 to 7150.  So that narrows it down to either
late '72 or '73 that it was changed.  Seems like it was later than that, but
time flies - hi hi!  It's fun to do a little amateur radio research now and
then.

In 1972 the 40m Novice band was 7150-7200. I know because I was there.
Refer
to 1970 ARRL Handbook page 14 at the left bottom of the page. Seems like
the
change was made in late 1972 or a little later.
