Extended 40m band now also in South Africa
------------------------------------------
Radio amateurs in the Republic of South Africa are now also allowed to use
the 40m frequency range from 7100 to 7200 kHz.


Four letter suffixes in Australia
---------------------------------
It is still only little known that there are also callsigns issued with a
four letter suffix in "down under". These callsigns have been issued to
Foundation Lincence holders since 2005. All Foundation class suffixes begin
with an "F" plus three more letters. Raj,VK4FRAJ, the son of Eddie,VK4AN,
is probably the only OP with such a call operating also in CW. It is not
very easy to describe this callsign in CW. Raj is allowed to work with a
maximum of 10 watts in CW and SSB on 80m/40m/15m/10m.
