THAT is the part I was being snarky about. Wondering why someone would be curious about a thing is...certainly a position to take. People are allowed to be curious for curiosity's sake. My point was be they from Utah, Texas, or Florida, or Idaho, it's a reasonable thing for *any* licensed operator to ask the FCC, if they want more information on it.

Except that you are BOTH in Utah!

Seems to be MORE than just a coincidence! hahaha

Expect any change to take decades.

Happily, it seems the FCC's already updated it!   My household applied for and received a license on 2024-12-25, and the application form no longer included the statement about Line A and C.

Wow, so that Randy guy (not the horny one) was prescient when he Royally declared Channel 19 to be the nationwide Calling Channel!

If I recall, last year, I looked this up and the current treaties and agreements no longer list UHF freqs as affected freqs that have Lines A and C restriction between thd two countries. What I don't recall if that affected the T-Band freqs because since that didn't affect me, and we can't use them, I didn't care if it did of not. However, the FCC still put the Lines A and C restrictions on the Part 90 and 95 licenses.

But does the official copy of your license? That’s what matters.

Edited to add: I just looked up my license and under waivers and conditions it no longer mentions Line A or C.

But I find no mention of it in any announcements on the FCC website. Damned bureaucrats.

Gone the way of the DoDo. Mine is the same.

Nor do I. I guess none of this ever happened.

May I suggest a salute to our brothers and sisters North of Line A and East of Line C by pressing the PTT on channel 19 at high noon using the Roger beep.

into a dummy load of course.
