The�ad hoc�group "Shortwave Modernization Coalition" petitioned the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) to allow data communications on multiple bands
within the HF 2 - 25 MHz range with up to 20 KW, including in bands immediately
adjacent to spectrum allocated to the Amateur Radio Service. This group appears
to represent high-speed stock trading interests.�The FCC has assigned it
RM-11953.�Comments are due by July 31, 2023, and reply comments by August 15.
While the petitioners exclude the amateur bands, high power operations on
immediately adjacent bands are proposed.�ARRL� The National Association for
Amateur Radio[1]� is reviewing the petition. A copy of the petition is at:
