Need: The rules provide guidance on the acquisition of, and administrative parameters for, a special event call sign, and advises amateur licensees on steps they must take to minimize human exposure to elevated radio frequency electromagnetic field levels. Legal Basis: 47 U.S.C. 154 and 303. Section Number and Title: 97.3(a)(11)(iii) Definitions. 97.13(c) and (c)(1) Restrictions on station location. SUBPART B-STATION OPERATION STANDARDS Brief Description: The part 97 rules set forth the conditions under which portions of the radio spectrum are made available and licensed for amateur radio service. Subpart B sets forth the general operational standards for licensees operating in the amateur radio service, including station licensees responsibilities; control operator duties; reciprocal

File number 6206-EX-PL-1998, call sign WA2XSY. See Petition For Rule Making, RM-10209, Public Notice (rel. Aug. 13, 2001) Report No. 2501. The 5000 kHz Petition specifically requests amendment of 47 CFR §§ 2.106; 97.13(c)(1); 97.301(b), (c), and (d); 97.303, and 97.305. HF communications rely on the electric charging (ionization) of the ionosphere (atmospheric altitudes between 50-500 km) to refract the radio signal back to Earth. This charging is caused when the sun's radiation collides with uncharged atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, producing free electrons which affect the frequencies that will be refracted. The ionosphere

We believe that a flat 500-watt power threshold below 10 MHz is necessary to ensure that these high-powered amateur stations do not cause human exposure to excessive RF electromagnetic fields. Accordingly, we are adopting the ARRL's proposal by specifying a transmitter power threshold for each individual ARS frequency band. As indicated in the table shown in 47 CFR § 97.13(c) of the revised rules, the power threshold for transmissions in the frequency bands below 10 MHz is 500 watts. We have also established this threshold for amateur repeater stations, which are normally located high above ground level and often at commercial sites, and we will base exclusions for these antennas on factors similar to those for paging and cellular antennas,
