The Daily DX debuts back issues search engine
March 28, 2007 by kb3ljm.
The Daily DX editor Bernie McClenny, W3UR, says his paid subscription DX newsletter’s Web site now offers a Google-powered search engine. Open to all, the search engine scours back issues of The Daily DX. “I am still in the process of uploading issues and hope to have this completed by the end of April,” McClenny says. “When completed it will have up until the last 6 to 8 weeks.” So far, McClenny says, he’s uploaded back issues from March 17, 1997, through May 2006. Issues of The Weekly DX are not included. The “Google Custom Search” box is in the middle of The Daily DX home page. McClenny advises users to include as many key words as they can when initiating a search. He also suggests starting with one search word then adding more words to narrow down the subject.

ARRL Offers Alternate Approach to “Regulation by Bandwidth”
March 28, 2007 by kb3ljm.
In the wake of recent changes in the Part 97 Amateur Radio rules, the ARRL has revised its “regulation by bandwidth” proposals to match the new reality, avoid some unintended consequences and temper some of the controversy the original petition had aroused. In a November 2005 Petition for Rule Making (RM-11306), the League asked the FCC to establish a regulatory regime that would segment bands by necessary bandwidths ranging from 200 Hz to 100 kHz rather than by emission mode. The ARRL now is urging the FCC to adopt a “subset” of the rules contained in its original petition that largely affects only the amateur bands at 28 MHz and above.

ARRL announces card checking program changes
March 28, 2007 by kb3ljm.
The ARRL has announced some changes in the DXCC, WAS and VUCC card checking program rules. Effective immediately, the 10-year rule has been dropped for DXCC card checking. ARRL DXCC card checkers now have been authorized to check cards for current entities only, dating back to November 15, 1945. Card checkers still may not verify cards for 160-meter contacts nor cards confirming contacts with deleted entities. In addition, DXCC card checkers now may check applications for Worked All States Award (WAS) and VHF/UHF Century Club Award (VUCC), if they agree to do so. For more information, contact DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L.
