  • number of valid licenses with Morse radiotelegraphy authorizations. The Commission remained unconvinced that deleting the Morse radiotelegraph frequencytables is necessaryor beneficial at this time. The Commission noted that eliminating the Morse rules would not make additional spectrum available to other users in the 4-27 MHz band due to the sharing of this spectrum with facsimile operations. (See47 C.F.R. §§ 80.357(b)(1), 80.363(a)(2)). Therefore, the Commission declined to delete Section 80.355 or Section 80.357. 7 Additional Proposals.TheCommission deleted note 5 to Section 80.207(d) as obsolete because it grandfathers transmitters that are no longer in use; amended Sections 80.207(d) and 80.313 by replacing references to the 1605-27500 kHz band with references to the 1615-27500 kHz band, because maritime mobile operations are not permitted on
