Hi Chuck, George and the group,
Re: What the FCC did was say what their new policy will be. To go from "here's what we think" to "actual policy" requires, amongst other things, that they publish their new policy. It will likely be several months before stations actually get legal Approval to use IBOC at night. Looking at some recent FCC actions, the announcement to end Morse Code requirements for amateur radio operators was made on December 15, 2006. New regulations must first appear in the Federal Register, and then go into effect 30 days after publishing. In this case, the new regulations did not become effective until February 23, 2007. As for the IBOC regs, I would give them somewhere around 60 days or perhaps May 20th. This is strictly a guesstimate on my part though. 73/ Joe Miller _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
