Amateur Radio Newsline report number 2516 with the release date of Friday, January 16, 2026 to follow in five four, three, two one. The following is a QST US Financial Traders renew their call to use the HF Band RF noise grounds flights in Greece and California hams have extra large plans for Winter Field Day. All this and more as Amateur Radio Newsline Report number 2516 comes your way right now from around the world. This is Newsline, Amateur Radio's first independent on the air News and Bulletin Service. Now Reporting from Charleston, West Virginia, here's Jim Dameron, NATNW in our top story, a group representing seven financial trading firms is pressing the U.S. federal Communications Commission to respond to their petition submitted almost three years ago asking for permanent allocation of HF frequencies for data transmission. Kent Peterson, KC0DTY has those details. The Shortwave Mic Modernization Coalition is pressing the FCC for an answer to its petition, which was filed in the spring of 2023. The group is seeking the authorization to transmit all the bands between 2 MHz and 25 MHz under Part 90 of the FCC rules. A number of the bands being sought either include or are adjacent to amateur radio bands. The Coalition's original filing drew substantial opposition from from amateur radio operators and the ARRL, citing the potential for interference, the ARRL said. In 2024, the IARU's monitoring system detected what was believed to be HF trading interference on the amateur portion of 20 meters. The US Coast Guard also objected to the petition, saying additional traffic would raise noise floors for everyone. Last year, three of the firms were given FCC approval as experimental license. They were prohibited from charging fees or receiving payments for anything related to their on the air operations. The coalition believes that granting permanency will solidify their status in business and will not create interference as feared because the technology exists to locate open channels. This is Kent Peterson, KC0DGY noise on the Frequency Frequency is bothersome enough when you're attempting to contact a much wanted dx, but noise on frequencies used by commercial aircraft can shut commercial airspace down, as it did earlier this month in Greece. Graham Kemp, BK4BV has that report. Flights into Greece were temporarily grounded, delayed or diverted this month after W6RHC repeater checked one.
