Polish amateurs are now permitted access to the WRC-15 60m amateur secondary allocation of 5351.5 ? 5366.5 kHz under ITU Footnote 5.133B - i.e. with 15W EIRP. They also now have 70 MHz access from 70.0 ? 7.30 MHz, Secondary, 20W EIRP. According to the gazette notice, these regulations come into force 14 days following its publication, so we should expect to be hearing Polish stations on the band later this month. Polish National Frequency Allocation Table (p.8) http://dziennikustaw.gov.pl/du/2017/920/D2017000092001.pdf Official Notice on PZK (Polish national society) website https://pzk.org.pl/news.php?readmore=4017 (Tnx: PZK,OK1RP) 73, Paul, G4MWO Editor, The 5 MHz Newsletter MEXICO: 60m Allocation for Mexico The Mexican telecomms regulator, IFT - Instituto Federal de Telecomunicaciones, has approved amateur operation on the new WRC-15 60m amateur secondary allocation of 5351.5 to 5366.5 kHz. Maximum power permitted is 20W EIRP. Mexican National Frequency Table http://cnaf.ift.org.mx/Consulta/Index (Tnx: IFT, XE2O, FMRE ) 73 Paul Gaskell G4MWO, The latest edition (No 18) of The 5 MHz Newsletter is now available for free pdf download from https://tinyurl.com/ln5f2p4, or alternatively from the ?External Links? section of the Wikipedia 60m Band page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-meter_band, or the RSGB 5 MHz page http://rsgb.org/main/operating/band-plans/hf/5mhz/ This bumper edition includes 14 new allocations, 60m coverage of Europe, 5 MHz from a ?postage-stamp? garden, a report on the Blue Ham 2 exercise and Beacon news Cheers, Paul Gaskell G4MWO,Editor MALTA: From Paul 9H1BT This new band is a killer with sleepless nights and early morning rise. The advantage of being a pensioner is I can make up for the lost sleep with naps during the day Hi. Well best wishes and pse keep me on your newsletter mail-list. Best wishes and 73s Paul 9H1BT CUBA: From Eduardo CO8LYI am beginning to make qso in 60m with 10watt and antenna dipole. I wanted you to announce in the bulletin that I am qrv in cw for sked. I transmit in 5425 cw or ssb and receipt RX in the frequency that the station tells me. I cannot use way digital jt65 because not this authorized in my country. A million thank you in advance. I hope to listen to you in 60m, strong hug. PJ4 - BONAIRE - PJ4DX, Steve, has modified his FT-2000 so that it works on 60 meters, and has put up a quarter-wave vertical. He says, "So I am now potentially QRV on 60M." The Bonaire frequencies are 5351.5-5366.5, with a maximum power of 25 watts EIRP. Steve has not listened on 60 meters much so he is not familiar with the band. He expects QSOs with Europe will be difficult at that power level and given current conditions, but may be easier during northern hemisphere winter, in another six-plus months. He is open to sked requests and notes his sunset is currently at 2248Z. Steve figures working North America will be easier than Europe, of course, and welcomes sked requests. As far as he knows, the only other PJ4/5/6 station possibly active on 60 is PJ4NX, Peter. Operations from those three islands only became legal starting April 26. ICELAND: The Icelandic PTA decided on May 12, 2017 to extend the experimental license privileges for radio amateurs in the 5 MHz band until December 31, 2017. The privileges are for 5260-5410 kHz, with 100W EIRP. Mode of emission: CW, USB, PSK-31 and other digital modes. The permit is the same for N and G licensees. Currently 25 TF licensees have an experimental license on 60 meters. 73 de J?nas Bjarnason, TF3JB 3X - Guinea - French ops F5RAV, Luc, and Gerard, F5NVF, have announced they will be QRV as 3XY4D from Conakry starting October 27th. Will possibly be on the 60 Meter band, through November 6th. They will also participate in the CQ World Wide DX SSB contest running 100 watts and dipoles. QSL direct only to F5RAV. 3Y0 - BOUVET ISLAND: From their website The January-February, 2018 3Y0Z Bouvet Island DXpedition team has posted a propagation page on their website (http://www.bouvetdx.org). It has videos showing propagation predictions for that early 2018 timeframe. The tab for the propagation is in the header menu. You can choose time, frequency and signal strength for your QTH. This is based on the average sunspot numbers forecast for January, 2018. Upcoming DXpeditions: 60m Website: The 60m website is at www.60metersonline.com Please send your station picture with you in it to webmaster at 60metersonline.com and he will be happy to post it with the others. It?s nice to put a face with a call. On the website we have a 60m DXCC country count. It has nothing to do with the ARRL DXCC award. Go to Achievements, DX Awards and you?ll see who is on our country leader board. Feel free to send your totals to the webmaster for posting. As you work a new one, advise our webmaster to update your listing webmaster at 60metersonline.com If you know of a friend going on a Dxpedition, please encourage them to operate the 60m band and keep me posted so I may pass the word. ____________________________ 60 meter websites: http://60metersonline.com http://60mband.blogspot.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/60-meter_band http://dxworld.com/60mlog.html http://tinyurl.com/pjhd943 Worldwide 5 MHz Allocations Chart The 5 MHz Newsletter: https://www.dropbox.com/s/b8dm3fi62i1qajy/5%20MHz%20Newsletter.pdf https://www.dxmaps.com/spots/mapg.php?Lan=S&Frec=5&ML=M&Map=W2L&HF=S https://www.dropbox.com/s/b8dm3fi62i1qajy/5%20MHz%20Newsletter.pdf You can also go to this DX Watch cluster page and see the 60 meter spots. http://www.dxwatch.com/dxsd1/dxsd1.php?f=5 If you know anyone who wants to be added to this newsletter, if you have any 60m news to share, or if you are going on a DXpedition and plan a 60m operation, please let me know.
