   ARLB012 Revised Spread Spectrum Rules to Go Into Effect April 29,   
   2011   
      
   The revisions to the FCC rules affecting Spread Spectrum   
   transmissions will go into effect April 29, 2011. The Report and   
   Order was published in the March 30 Federal Register.   
      
   Details on the revisions can be found on the web at,   
      
   http://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-adopts-spread-spectrum-rules-changes   
      
   Adopted February 22 and released March 4, 2011, the Report and Order   
   eliminates the requirement that amateur stations transmitting Spread   
   Spectrum use Automatic Power Control (APC) to reduce transmitter   
   power. The Commission also reduced the maximum power of a Spread   
   Spectrum emission from 100 W to 10 W PEP.   
      
   The Question Pool Committee of the National Council of Volunteer   
   Examiner Coordinators has removed a related question, E1F13, from   
   the Amateur Extra Class Question Pool.
