In some parts of the world there is a new 5mHz ham band, but I don't think
it came from SWBC allocation.


If you're talking about the 60m HAM band,
it's only five 'channels' in an otherwise ute band.


Not in Norway, it isn't any longer. They have just been granted access
to the whole band. They now have a secondary allocation at 5.260 to
5.410MHz, all modes with a 6kHz maximum bandwidth.
