*_/Special notice/_*
*Starting February 13, the FCC will restrict U.S. amateur radio stations 
from operating at 100 watts on 5.357 MHz, limiting power to just 9.5 
watts on that frequency. To continue operating at 100 watts, many U.S. 
DXers will move their FT8 activity to a new frequency: 5.371.5 
MHz, effective the same date.

Operators are encouraged to inform friends, club members, and relevant 
news outlets about this change to ensure a smooth transition.

While many other countries will continue using the original frequency, 
it is important to notify anyone planning DXpeditions of the U.S. shift 
to 5.371.5 MHz.*
