World Radio founder dies at 100
An early interest in amateur radio operating led to a rewarding electronics career for Leo I. Meyerson.
The Omaha native founded World Radio Laboratories in Council Bluffs in 1935 and it became one of the world’s largest distributors of amateur radio equipment. Meyerson also established the World Radio electronics stores, a retail chain that operated in the Midlands from the 1950s to the 1980s.
Meyerson, known internationally by the radio call sign WØGFQ, died of complications from a stroke on Wednesday at Eisenhower Medical Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif. He had celebrated his 100th birthday on March 7.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
47 CFR Part 97
[WT Docket No. 10–62; FCC 11–22]
Amateur Service Rules
AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.
ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: This document revises the Amateur Radio Service rules to amend and clarify the rules with respect to amateur stations transmitting spread spectrum emissions. The rule amendments are necessary to eliminate the requirement that an amateur station use automatic power control to reduce transmitter power when the station transmits a spread spectrum emission, and to reduce the maximum allowed transmitter output power for an amateur
station transmitting a spread spectrum emission. The effect of this action is to eliminate the automatic power control provision which has proven to be virtually impossible to implement, and to encourage amateur stations to experiment with spread spectrum communications technologies.

Witnesses cite public safety as reason to pass bill
Washington — Public safety officials urged lawmakers Wednesday to pass a bill that would allocate certain radio frequencies exclusively to public safety — legislation that ham radio enthusiasts say would limit their ability to broadcast during severe weather and other emergencies.
To offset the cost of this change, the bill would sell for commercial use the 420-440 MHz frequencies that amateur radio operators currently use for free.
