> On December 9, 2025, the FCC released Report and Order 25-60 which amends Parts 2 and 97 to implement acts of the World Radiocommunication Conference held in Geneva in 2015 (WRC-15). The R&O addresses the amateur radio service in the 5351.5-5366.5 kHz (60m) band and the 420-450 MHz (70cm) band. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-25-60A1.pdf
> 
> In the 60m band, the R&O states "Allocate the 5351.5-5366.5 kHz (60-meter) band to the amateur service on a secondary basis; continue to make available on a secondary basis the four existing channels outside of the 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz band; and establish other operating guidelines for amateur use of the band." The existing 60m channels and their power limit of 100 watts ERP remains. In the new 5351.5-5366.5 kHz segment, power will be limited to 9.15 watts ERP.
> 
> In the 70cm band, the R&O states "Update the coordination and contact information in US270 for amateur stations operating in previously defined areas of the 420-450 MHz (70 centimeter) band." This is referring to parts of the country where amateur radio operations on the 70cm band are restricted due to adjacent military operations.
> 
> These changes will go into effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
