2. IARU Region 3 Proposal Moves Forward on 40m Band
The IARU's proposal is the result of a recent consultation by the Wireless Institute of Australia with the goal of finding band plans for various modes that could ultimately form the basis of a global agreement. The proposal noted that very little spectrum is set aside for digital modes and discusses the potential use of channelisation of the bands for digital modes. To deal with the challenge of allocations that include SSB and CW, the committee studied, among other things, activity shown on ClubLog.
Full proposal can be found at https://www-iaru-r3.org

4. The Internet Archive Has Been Hacked
Most would put the Internet Archive in the category of the library — with its aim of preserving and providing knowledge for the aid of all who might call on it. Sadly, it appears this grand institution has been hacked.
At the time of writing, it appears the Internet Archive has restored the website to some degree of normal operation. As is always the way, no connected machine is ever truly safe, no matter how much we might hope that’s not the case.
