The FCC allocated a new chunk of the 60m band to amateurs in the US.
The action opened 5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz (60 meters) to the amateur service on a secondary basis with a permitted power of 9.15 watts ERP.
The Commission also authorized amateurs to continue using four existing channels outside of the 5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz band centered on 5332, 5348, 5373, and 5405 kHz on a secondary basis with a permitted power of 100 watts ERP.
There are no antenna restrictions but antenna gain must be used to calculate ERP.
General class license holders and above will receive the new privileges 30 days after publication to the National Register.
