The FCC has issued a Notice of Proposed Rule-making (NPRM) which effects
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Amateur Radio use of the 60m band. Details include:
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
+ The FCC proposes to allocate 15 kHz of contiguous bandwidth between
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz on a secondary basis with a maximum power of 15 W
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
EIRP (equivalent to 9.15 W ERP). This allocation was adopted at the 2015
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15).
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
+ The NPRM leaves open the question of whether the existing five 60m
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
channels can still be used for Amateur Radio operation as well as if the
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
100w power level may still be used.
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
+ The FCC has requested comments relative to existing channels and power
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
issue.
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Comments on this NPRM are due by October 30th, 2023.
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
In 2017, the ARRL petitioned the FCC to keep the four 60-meter channels
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
that fall outside the new band, as well as the current operating rules,
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
including the 100 W ERP limit.
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
We need as many Hams as possible to comment on this NPRM and urge the
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
FCC to keep 1) the 4 existing channels allocated to Amateur Radio on a
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
secondary basis and 2) keep the 100w power limit for these channels. You
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
might also want to note that the 60m band is important for Amateur Radio
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
emergency communications during disasters.
