FCC Reverses on Linear Amplifiers for 10 Meter Ham Band
A sequence of FCC actions in 1978 toggled between banning and permitting high frequency external amplifiers. Early moves barred 24 to 35 MHz gear, then briefly allowed 28.00 to 29.70 MHz, before a revision again prohibited 24-35 MHz marketing. Amateurs may build their own units, but commercially made HF amplifiers remain banned. The issue spurred confusion as two bulletins were released in error ahead of the voting outcome.
