Today Hans, DL8PM, received a new permission to operate on 70 MHz with the callsign DI2PM. Conditions: 69,950 MHz, max bandwidth 2,7 kHz and max 10 W EIRP. During Hans’s first permission, expired 2008-02-29, he was very active and made over 100 QSOs. So with a new permission in hand and the Es season coming soon tons of QSOs can be expected. Hans is very thankful to the German Bundes-Netz-Agentur.

ITALY ON 70 MHz DURING 2008 By Tony, I0JX Published: 20 December 2007

The current permit expires on December 31st 2007. In year 2008, before resuming 4meter operations, the Italian amateurs shall wait for a new authorization to be released. Discussing the issue with our counterparts, we understood that a simple extension of the current deadline would not be possible.
Estonian readyness By Arvo, ES1CW Published: 19 December 2007

At this time we have a "wild white field" around 70 MHz, only some 10-12 (mods needed) pieces of FT-847 in use in whole country. But at the same time our activity on the Six are OK - in example, I had wkd over 100 different ES-stations (with IC-706xx, IC-7400, IC-746, IC-756, FT-100, FT-817, FT-857, FT-847,FT-897, FT-920, TS-2000 etc now) on the Six during this year. And perhaps, many 6m 10...15 W transverters are still OK for a 4 m conversion items... And a vy new "everybody one" must be constructed in the "Estonian fashion", lot of work on the horizon...

70 MHz allocation in Estonia By Mart, ES2NJ Published: 19 December 2007
Print Email
To VHF-community of Europe We are very happy to announce that from December 23, 2007 the 70 MHz (4 m) band is officially allocated for regular amateur radio use in Estonia on secondary status. The band may be operated by all national licence classes (A, B and D). A foreign radio amateur, who is the holder of a valid CEPT licence, can also use his amateur radio station on 70 MHz during a temporary stay (up to 3 months) in Estonia without any extra registration, application or charge – like it is the case with other amateur bands in the country. The secondary status of the band however means that it can be operated on non-interference basis to other communication services in Estonia. The transmitter’s RF power output limit is set to 20 dBW (100 W) for the national classes A & B and to 10 dBW (10 W) for the class D (entry level). All modes (CW, SSB, AM, FM, MGM) are permitted. In general, using a horizontally polarized antenna is recommended. The band plan of the new allocation shows, that the lower limit for operation is at 70.140 MHz – perhaps there is a hope that it can be shifted down in the future, but currently we have to be pleased also with this permission. There may have been some preliminary notices of the new band allocation from Estonia also before, but at that stage they were more rumours and did not carry actual official data. Herewith we are glad to say that all official paperwork has now been finished, corresponding permission has been issued by the Ministry of Economy and Communication and after almost 5 years of hard work ES should be soon heard on the 4 m band! With Season’s Greetings Mart, ES2NJ ERAU VHF Manager
Report of FIRST 4m expedition to JN51XX By IK0IXI Published: 17 December 2007

Hi guys! Wind & cold never stopped crazy people in ham radio!! IQ0HL/0 made 14 QSOs from JN51XX, despite the cold and windy day here in ltaly. December is tno the perfect month for outdoors operations, but 31 December is so close that our team (IK0IXI, I0LYO and IK0LZR) quickly activated for the FIRST time ( and we hope not for the last time...) this rare square on 70 MHz before that date. We are planning more operations from there if 4m is again possible in Italy. Special TKS to G7CNF-Nige for HF/GSM support on sked management. 73 to ALL de IQ0HL/0 Team.

70 MHz will become a general allocation in EI, as soon as some administrative details are attended to by ComReg. There is no need to send in an application: it will be allocated to EI Experimenters automatically. Discuss this article in the Forum!
