- WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Federal Communications Commission took a
- first step Tuesday for setting the ground rules by which businesses
- can bid for certain chunks of the airways.
- The FCC adopted ``generic'' rules for auctioning radio
- frequencies for a variety of new services, including the next
- generation of mobile telephone service called personal
- communications service.
- The rules will:
- -- Allow several auctions to be conducted at the same time.
- -- Require $2,500 as a minimum up-front payment for parties to
- participate in the auction.
- -- Set deadlines for payments on winning bid.
- -- Set aside a portion of the frequencies to be bid on by women,
- minorities, rural telephone companies and small businesses.
- FCC Chairman Reed Hundt said the rules set the stage for ``the
- most important disposition of public property'' since the Oklahoma
- land rush.
- More detailed rules for specific services -- notably lucrative
- personal communications service licenses -- will be decided later
- this year.
- Companies obtaining personal communications services licenses
- will be able to offer consumers the next generation of mobile phone
- service, in which the number travels with the phone's owner.
- The FCC is exploring all options -- electronic, oral and paper --
- for submitting bids, said Robert Pepper, chief of the FCC's Plans
- and Policy Office.

- SYNOPSIS OF ACTIVITY
- --------------------
-
- Solar activity was very low with only a single B-class
- xray burst for the entire period. All regions are in slow
- decay.
-
- Solar activity forecast: solar activity is expected to be
- very low to low. Region 7685 (S08W17) has the best chance of
- C-class flaring.
-
- The geomagnetic field has been at active to major storm
- levels for the past 24 hours at middle latitudes and active
- to severe storm levels at high latitudes because of a well
- positioned coronal hole.
-
- Geophysical activity forecast: the geomagnetic field is
- expected to be mostly active at middle latitudes and active to
- minor storm levels at high latitudes for the entire forecast
- period.

- B. High Latitudes

- Minor Storm 40/25/25
- Major-Severe Storm 15/15/05
-
- HF propagation conditions were below-normal over most
- regions. Hardest hit were the high and polar latitude paths,
- particularly on night-sector transauroral circuits where poor
- to occasionally near useless propagation existed. Middle
- latitudes have also observed fair to occasionally poor
- propagation over the last 24 hours. Conditions are expected to
- continue below-normal over the next 24 to 48 hours. A gradual
- improvement in propagation can be expected on and after 11
- March.

- I did that in New York when I did my general in the mid 60's. Someone
- came over with his bug looking for a place to hook it up. The examiner
- said "you don't need THAT." After that I waited more than 20 years to
- get extra--even though I could copy 20 I knew I couldn't send well
- enough with a straight key.
