The American Legion Amateur Radio Club

As Amateur Radio Operators, our community has a proud history of adapting to new technologies. Revolutionary platforms like EchoLink and AllStar fundamentally changed the landscape, bridging the gap between RF and the internet to bring amateur radio into a modern digital age.

The bipartisan bills -- H.R.1094 in the House and S.459 in the Senate -- are designed to prevent re

The new 60-meter frequencies approved by the FCC in December will become available to amateurs as of February 13, 2026, along with new power restrictions on those frequencies. It’s a bit confusing, as different rules apply to different segments of the band. The changes result from the FCC’s action to approve a worldwide 60-meter amateur allocation made by the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2015 (WRC-15).
