Call sign plan extended
 
The FCC has granted an ARRL request to extend the comment deadline
in its ''vanity'' call sign proposal, in PR Docket 93-305.
 
The comment deadline was extended to April 21, 1994; the reply
comment deadline was extended to May 23, 1994.
 
The Commission's Notice of Proposed Rule Making was released
December 29, 1993, with an original comment deadline of March 7,
1994.  The League said more time was needed for response because of
the importance of the proposal to amateurs and therefore the need to
ensure fairness in whatever system was adopted.
 
In granting the League's request the FCC said ''it is desirable that
the record be as complete as possible and that it reflect the views
of the amateur community.''
 
An ARRL ad-hoc committee on this proposal includes Directors Steve
Mendelsohn, WA2DHF; Frank Butler, W4RH; Tom Comstock, N5TC; John
Kanode, N4MM; and Brad Wyatt, K6WR. Members should address their
comments to ''Docket 93-305 Committee,'' and send them to ARRL HQ.
 
More information on the proposal is in February 1994 QST on pages 9
and 84-86.
