But still experimental only, as reported in ERN 10. Issues remaining to be worked out include how these space services will handle Wireless Emergency Alerts.

"The Board made a clear statement that the interests of the SMC are in conflict with those of ARRL and its membership, and has requested that the ARRL Volunteer Monitors explore ways to gather data on SMC station emissions." (2/2)

As I've noted in ERN, FCC routinely exempts these high-power, experimental HF stations from the station ID requirement. FCC has not publicly disclosed its reasoning.

[Reposting:] @ARRL reports "The Board issued its strongest rebuke of efforts by the ad-hoc group 'Shortwave Modernization Coalition' (SMC) to introduce high-power signals to the shortwave spectrum, including frequencies immediately adjacent to the Amateur Radio HF bands. (1/2)

DPA Mac is back at FCC with another filing in quixotic venture to gain an International Broadcast license. "DPA Mac agrees to make program time available to Raft to broadcast its programming from DPA Mac’s high frequency radio station." Raft is DPA's Israeli equipment supplier.
