By ei7ix

The 70 MHz band of 70.125 to 70.450 MHz has been released generally to experimenters. This means that any licensed experimenter may now use the
band without the need to make an individual application as was the position previously. The upper power limit is 50 W PEP and 25 W PEP for mobile operation.
(Thanks to IRTS News for info).

May meeting of WGFM and ECA
By EI3IO
Published: 25 May 2008

I understand that most of the amendments to the ECA in the input document were accepted (including the footnote on 70 MHz). The draft update of the ECA, ERC Report 25 for the year 2008 was therefore adopted for public consultation.

As there is no formal 4 m Group and lobby body yet in existence, I hope IARU R1 will consider submitting a response to the consultation in support of the footnote and propose that the situation is reviewed when more countries have decided to allocate the band to the amateur service. As the instigator of the original proposal I'm sure the IRTS (Irish national society) will consider the issue as well.

Anyway - fingers crossed - lots of good news around plus excellent conditions on 4m yesterday, Saturday 24 May.

Just spoke with T77C on 24 MHz. He told me they need additional permission in San Marino in addition to the Italian agreement. However he was hopeful that a T7 station would be QRV on 4m in June and a transverter is in the course of construction.
