Changes in Part 97 With Regard to Station Identification

We have before us three petitions requesting changes to Section 97.119 of the Commission’s Rules, which governs amateur station identification. Two of the petitions request that the time interval between required identification announcements be changed. The third petition requests that certain combinations of letters be reserved for use by current or former members of the armed forces when identifying their amateur service stations. Because the petitioners seek to amend the rules to permit activity that the current rules already permit, or do not present sufficient evidence to justify altering the current rules, we are dismissing all three petitions.
