Word has it that the FCC has released a rule change effective 28 October
that relaxes the limitations on digital emissions in the amateur
service.

The new limits will be as follows:

bands		max bit rate	max bandwidth
10m			1200
6,2m		19.6K			20khz
1.25m+up	56K				50khz

The new rules also allow non-ascii codes to be used, provided that both
stations in a contact are within the USA.  (Don't ask me why.)

More info as available.
