The action, in PR Docket 94-59, was announced in a press release. The automatically controlled station must either be connected to another station under manual control, or must transmit within a subband designated for this purpose. Those subbands have not yet been announced. The Commission said it believes these rule changes will allow amateurs to ''contribute to communication technology'' and to advance amateurs' communication and technical skills.
