The conferees also agreed to discourage ssb operations below 7,050 Khz. To discourage digital mode operations between 7,035 and 7,050 Khz, except for communications with amateurs in other regions. And to renew their commitment to the IARU goal of achieving a world wide allocation of at least 300 Khz in the vicinity of 7 Mhz. Also member societies are being encouraged to make greater use of the 10 Mhz band for digital communications since radio telephone is not allowed there. As to getting the IARU online, the group hopes that all of its member societies will obtain internet access and establish their own home pages on the world wide web.
Individual amateurs are to include their callsigns as a part of any internet address.
Many IARU representatives from Region 2 are expected to be on the Internet before years end. The Dayton Amateur Radio Association is now accepting applications for its 1996 college scholarships. Each year DARA offers eight such scholarships. No specific field of college study is required. In DX, word that the second joint Amateur Radio operation by both Jordanian and Israeli amateurs planned to begin October 25 has been postponed.
