    The original post of the Jan. 28, 2022 Amateur Radio Newsline did not
    have a link to the story on the Nordic Radio HF Conference in the
    script. The Newsline website, arnewsline.org, has been updated with
    that URL, and it is noted below.

    It just proves you need a second set of eyes when you look over any documentation that you have done, or you are likely to miss it.

    I discovered an error in the domain for the ham radio websites message.

    The CORRECT domain should be wx4qz.net INSTEAD of theweatherwonder.com
    as I got rid of that domain over a year ago, due to cost. A fellow ham
    radio operator is helping with the hosting fee, and I just pick up the
    domain cost. My apologies for the error.

    Due to a low turnout of late...and the fact that the summer travel
    season is upon us, I've decided to place The Food Net on summer hiatus.

    The hiatus will run from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day
    Weekend. I should've canceled the net today (June 24) for Field Day,
    but that didn't cross my mind, because of other things outside of my
    hobbies.

    I will still post stuff to the Digital D-Star Food Net group on
    Facebook, as well as The RF Digital Diner group on Facebook, from foodnetwork.com

    The Food Net will resume on Saturday, Sept. 9, 2023, on the QuadNet
    Array (openquad.net) at 4pm Eastern, 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain, and
    1pm Pacific Time.

    I have also updated the Excel Net List Spreadsheet listings at http://www.wx4qz.net/elk.htm for this change...as well as for the
    addition of a few new nets.

    Note: There are already several videos on YouTube concurring with this. DS

    Please take a few moments to read the following notification from the

    The Direct URL to the article is:

    (above URL all on one line)

    The context of this article is copied below.

    After reading this please reach out to the ARRL, and your congressional representative to let them know that you are OPPOSED to this possible
    action!

    You can submit your objection using the FCC URL:

    https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/how-comment#comments

    Reference the Rule Making Request RM-11953

    Time is not on our side as the open comment period closes on 31 July
    2023.

    ========================================================================

    The ad hoc group "Shortwave Modernization Coalition" petitioned the
    Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to allow data communications on multiple bands within the HF 2 - 25 MHz range with up to 20 KW,
    including in bands immediately adjacent to spectrum allocated to the
    Amateur Radio Service. This group appears to represent high-speed stock
    trading interests.

    ARRL, The National Association for Amateur Radio (R) is treating the
    petition as a subject of concern for its members and the greater Amateur
    Radio Service. ARRL Laboratory staff are studying the matter from a
    technical standpoint, including analysis of transmitted signals
    potentially interfering with Amateur Radio communications on Amateur
    Radio spectrum. The results from this expert review are being finalized
    and will inform ARRL's filed comments on the matter.

    The FCC has assigned the petition RM-11953. Comments are due by July 31,
    2023, and reply comments by August 15. While the petitioners exclude the amateur bands, high power operations on immediately adjacent bands are proposed.

    A copy of the petition is at:
