After careful consideration based upon membership feedback, frequencies used by both RTTY and QRP operators, and recent changes and pending changes to band plans, it has been agreed by the BOD of QRP-ARCI that with immediate effect the center of activity for 40m QRP CW operation in North America shall be 7030 kHz.

It should be remembered that operators will continue to use 7040 kHz as conditions and previously scheduled events dictate. However, the 'official' CW center of activity for members and QRP ARCI operating events will now be 7030 kHz.

This brings the North American frequency of operation in line with the rest of the world.
