I was about to call myself since I couldn't find anything on the FCC site about it, no ROS, no such case number no nothing.

When asked for a case number, I provided the case number given on the above web page -- but was informed that this case number refers to a "password reset" request, not ROS. I asked if I could speak with agent 3820, and was immediately connected; her name is Dawn. I gave Dawn the above URL, and read her the salient paragraph. She said that the information about ROS legality posted on the above web site was not accurate. Dawn went on to say that FCC staff members were working on this issue, and asked me to not make public comments until further progress had been made. She offered to call me at that time. Dawn called me a few minutes ago, and stated that FCC staff consider the information on the above web page to be out of context and misleading. She further stated that FCC staff is working with the ARRL on this issue, and that the outcome will be publicized by the ARRL. Dawn expects this to happen soon; there is nothing related to ROS posted on <http://www.arrl. org/> as of a few minutes ago. Note that all telephone conversations with FCC personnel are recorded. 73, Dave, AA6YQ
