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’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.
