PDF Version of Part 97

[Paul Kirley]

Those who want a PDF version of FCC regs (47 CFR 97) can get an annual
update from the Government Printing Office at
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/submitcitation.action?publication=CFR
by searching for the Most Recent Title 47 Part 97.  The result will be
in a pop-up browser window, from which the regs can be saved as a PDF.

There are two limitations to this approach.  
(1)  The update is done only in the fall, dated October 1 but not
available until some time after that date.  Any changes since October 1
will not be included.
(2)  The search interface has changed over time.  Future adaptation to
interface changes might be needed.

On the other hand, it's free.


73, Paul W8TM

I doubt that the same bound publication from the ARRL is updated more
than once a year.
And, as Paul said, this one is free.

Fortunately, there aren't many rule revisions to Part 97 each year, so a
yearly copy plus staying aware of the revisions as they happen may
suffice for most hams.  That is not the case for other rule parts that I
consult on a regular basis in my professional life as a communications
regulatory attorney.  BNA's Communications Regulation service - formerly
called Pike and Fischer for those who are familiar with it - has monthly
full releases of FCC Rules, statutes, treaties, agency orders and
decisions, and court cases, plus on-line availability of current material.

P+F costs several thousand dollars a year now.  You get what you pay for.
