Commercial Interests Petition FCC for High Power Allocation on
Shortwave Spectrum

07/11/2023

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(r) is reviewing the petition. A copy of
the petition is at: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/1042840187330/1
(PDF).
