- SB QST ARL ARLB015
- ARLB015 Vanity call extension sought
-
- The ARRL has requested an extension of the comment deadline on an
- FCC proposal to establish a ''vanity'' call sign system.
-
- The FCC's Notice of Proposed Rule Making, in PR Docket 93-305, was
- released December 29, 1993, with a comment deadline of March 7,
- 1994.
-
- The League immediately published the NPRM, in its entirety, in
- February 1994 QST, asking members to make their views on the matter
- known to their elected representatives.
-
- In its request for an extension of time for comments, until April
- 21, 1994, the ARRL said that because the matter of issuing preferred
- call signs involves a ''scarce resource,'' the maintaining of fairness
- in the program must be addressed.
-
- The League also said that the March 7 comment deadline simply did
- not allow enough time for ARRL members to express their views on the
- proposal and for the ARRL board to then formulate a position.
