via Amateur Radio Daily: FCC Expands US Hams Access to 60 Meter Band

General Class and above license holders in the United States will soon have access to an expanded portion of the 60 Meter band.

Specifically, the Commission allocated 5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz (60 meters) to the amateur service on a secondary basis with a permitted power of 9.15 watts ERP. The Commission also authorized amateurs to continue using four existing channels outside of the 5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz band centered on 5332, 5348, 5373, and 5405 kHz on a secondary basis with a permitted power of 100 watts ERP.

This new allocation is in line with the regulations adopted during the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference.
