Here's a question for all the legal eagles out there.
The news release states, "The new five-channel 60-meter domestic secondary
amateur allocation becomes available to US Amateur Radio operators at
midnight local time on July 3."
It's my understanding that the day starts at 0001 hours (one minute past
midnight)and ends at 2400 hours (midnight). If this is true, then 60 meter
transmissions between 0001 and 2359 on July 3 would be illegal, and would
only be legal after 0000:01 on July 4.
Further, "local time" where? East coast? Does that mean that if we here in
the Central time zone hear someone calling CQ at 2301 CDT we cannot answer
them until the next hour rolls around?
I don't really expect any definitive answers from anyone; just thought it
might be something for all of us to argue over .
Anybody want to take any bets on when the 5 channels fill up with the CQs of
those wanting to make the first contact?
