Telecommunication regulators in The Netherlands have scaled back
considerably the country’s formerly liberal 60m privileges. Since December
2015, amateurs in The Netherlands have had access to a 100kHz wide band at
5MHz, with a maximum power of 100W. Starting on 1 April 2017, the
allocation has been changed to the global secondary 15kHz-wide allocation,
5351.5kHz []

US amateurs will get two new bands in the near future. On 28 March 2017,
the FCC adopted rules that will allow secondary amateur radio access to 472
to 479kHz and to 135.7 to 137.8kHz. The new rules become effective 30 days
after publication in The Federal Register. More information is on the ARRL
