UK Amateurs Gain 7.1 - 7.2MHz from 31 October
Ofcom and the Radio Society of Great Britain are pleased to announce that
all necessary procedures required for early access to the 7.1 to 7.2MHz
spectrum for all UK radio amateurs have been finalised and that access is
allowed from 0100UTC on Sunday 31 October 2004. Early access is granted on a
Secondary (non-interference) basis using a maximum of 26dBW (400 watts) PEP.

Notices of Variation for the Foundation, Intermediate and Full licences have
been published on the Ofcom website.
orse code modes are used between 7.1 and 7.2MHz. B
It is recommended that for the time being only voice and Mand planning
issues on 7MHz will be kept under regular review and will be dependent on
the number of administrations granting early access to this band prior to
full Primary access on 29 March 2009.

The RSGB would like to offer its appreciation to all parties involved in the
consultations, in particular the broadcasting industry, the UK Ministry of
Defence, the Radiocommunications Agency and its successor Ofcom.

Please note that access to the extra 100kHz is only allowed from 0100UTC,
and not midnight UTC, on Sunday morning. Or, put another way, from 2.00am
local time, at which time the clocks are put back by one hour. Local time
will then be 1.00am, the same as GMT or UTC.
