Amateurs on 600 Metres

   Industry Canada has accepted an RAC proposal whereby
selected  Canadian radio amateurs would be permitted to
operate in the vicinity of  500 kHz.

These amateur operations would support Canada's efforts to
action a  proposal on the agenda of the 2011 World Radio
Conference (WRC2011)  which, if adopted, would create an
amateur allocation in the 600-meter band.

Industry Canada have authorized RAC to recommend amateurs
who would be  licensed to operate in the 504 to 509 kHz band
with a maximum power of  20 watts ERP and bandwidth up to 1
kHz. Stations operating in this band  would be technically
operating under Special Developmental Licenses  although
they would all be radio amateurs. Distinct call signs would
be  used and the licenses would be renewable annually
subject to the amateur  demonstrating the research he has
carried out.

More information will follow shortly in the pages of TCA or
via  subsequent bulletins.
