UK radio amateurs may be allowed to use 7100-7200 kHz UK media regulator Ofcom has issued a notification of a proposed change to the UK amateur radio licence. The effect of this change will be to extend the current 7MHz band from 100kHz to 200kHz between 7.000 and 7.200MHz, but the portion between 7.1 and 7.2MHz will be Secondary, and no interference may be caused to other services. Currently, 7100-7200 kHz is used for shortwave broadcasting, though not in the Americas where radio amateurs are already allowed to use 7100-7300 kHz. The change is in line with decisions made at international level. The plan is that eventually 7000-7300 kHz will used worldwide for amateur radio. UK licence holders are invited to submit comments on the proposal by not later than 23 October. E-mail messages can be sent to amateurcb@ofcom.org.uk. # posted by Andy @ 11:53 UTC |
