[600MRG] 47CFR Part5 Renewals

[Neil Klagge]

Frank, I let my WG2XSV lapse about a month after I was able to use the 630m band with my ham call. I dont have a need for a part 5 call at this point. I am happy with what I can do on 630m as w0yse for now and am not interested in transmitting at lower freqs.

I was able to get a 5 year grant for WG2XPJ, but it just covers the new ham bands so I won't bother to renew.

Frank,

    I renewed WE2XGR last year with no issues.
WE2XGR covers 460-515 kHz with a small gap around 490 kHz  to protect NAVTEX.

The advantage is more bandwidth and higher power available.

That said, I have been mostly operating using my ham call on 472.5 kHz CW.

I put in extra language such that WE2XGR has a five year term as opposed to two years so the financial aspect of renewal is not as great.
(I have frequently posted the language on the reflector that I put in the application to get a five year grant, but few if any others have taken advantage.)

I'm looking for advice on renewing my 47CFR5 experimental license - I am quite sure many of you with a 47CFR5 experimental license granting one or more frequency assignments below the standard AM broadcast band have asked the same question.

..

I have had my 47CFR5 license for around 3 and a half years.  (It is on its second 2-year renewal.)  Since  47CFR97 formally established the 2200 and 630 meter amateur radio bands, what would be the advantage of reapplying for a renewal?  My grant covers only the 630 and 600 meter bands.  I did not apply for other frequency assignments either for the initial application, or for the follow-up renewal.
