[MRIC] 60 M a new try

Bob,

Thanks for the detailed information. I also got an email from K3UEZ 
directly. Thank you both.

Brett

Well, that last email did not format properly, so here goes again 
 
The following is from the ARRL Band Plan web site. I hope this is 
helpful.  
 
The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete 
2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause inference to and must 
accept interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says 
that hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their 
signal is transmitted on the channel center frequency." This means that 
amateurs should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz /lower/ than the 
channel center frequency. 
 
/General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes/: 
 
*Channel Center* *Amateur Tuning Frequency* 
 
5332 kHz 5330.5 kHz 
5348 kHz 5346.5 kHz 
5368 kHz 5366.5 kHz 
5373 kHz 5371.5 kHz 
5405 kHz (common US/UK) 5403.5 kHz 
 
Amateurs may use USB **/only*/* with a maximum effective radiated power 
(ERP) of */50 W/*. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 50 
W PEP transmitter output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd. 
For details, see the 60 Meter FAQ 
<http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/faq-60.html> page. 
 
--------------------- 
On a personal note, I feel that 60 m is so full of conditions and has 
the great potential for violation of rules that it would be best to 
omit it from our operational scheme. Power limitations, precise 
frequency transmissions etc. Some rigs in use may not be capable of 
such restricted operations. I have not operated on this band because of 
all the limitations.
