Hello,

I was wondering if anyone would like to try a QSO on 60 meters:


Channel Center | Tuning Frequency
------------------------------------
5332 Khz | 5330.5 Khz
5348 Khz | 5346.5 Khz
5368 Khz | 5366.5 Khz
5373 Khz | 5371.5 Khz
5405 Khz | 5403.5 Khz

Later in the evening would probably work (say 0200Z), or, in the
morning
around 1100Z. I am in Idaho, so we would have to work that in.

If we use these "channelized" frequencies, maybe the FCC will see we
are using them and give us a whole 60 meter segment.





Very doubtful amateur will ever be assigned entire 60 metre range.
Unfortunately, the FRAC (Frequency Realignment Commission)
committee of the ITU will eventually recommend amateurs lose
over half the spectrum they now have.



Coinciding with the FRAC action reducing amateur frequencies
by half, will be the creation of an International Amateur Radio
Permit (IARP). Individual countries will no longer issue amateur
licenses. There will be only one amateur license, the IARP, and it
will be code-free and administered by the ITU and the UN. These
actions reflect the moving of the world's individual countries to a
global telecommunications community.
