[ADXA] 60-Meter Follow Up

[w5znjoel at gmail.com]

If I sound like I'm beating a dead horse, I am because it is important that
we ADXA folks understand 60-meters and the power limits in place, and those
for the expanded allocation forthcoming. It makes no difference what others
may do. If Tommy wants to jump off a cliff, let him, you don't have to
follow (wise statement I heard from my mom on multiple occasions). 

 

The following is from the ARRL website:

 

"Amateurs are cautioned that this allocation is strictly on a secondary
basis, and amateurs must avoid interfering with non-amateur stations using
this spectrum. This obligation includes the responsibility to monitor for
such stations using appropriate receiver bandwidths. The FCC emphasized that
"allowing amateur operations in this band while fully protecting incumbent
primary Federal operations is our priority, and even intermittent
interference in this band could jeopardize important Federal operations." 

 

The Commission left open ARRL
<https://www.arrl.org/news/fcc-invites-comments-on-arrl-petition-to-allocate
-new-5-mhz-band> 's 2017 Petition for Rulemaking to implement this WRC
allocation (RM-11785), stating that "we expect the Commission may address
any necessary power adjustments for the new 15 kilohertz international
allocation in that proceeding." ARRL will be observing operations in the new
band to evaluate the effect of the 9.15-watt limit and already has been
monitoring the regulations and experiences of amateurs in other countries."

 

By the way, you do know there is a power limit of 200 watts PEP on 30 meters
in the USA, don't you??? Same reason.
