GB stations get 7100 to 7200

UK Amateurs Gain 7.1 - 7.2MHz from 31 October
Ofcom and the Radio Society of Great Britain are pleased to announce that
all necessary procedures required for early access to the 7.1 to 7.2MHz
spectrum for all UK radio amateurs have been finalised and that access is
allowed from 0100UTC on Sunday 31 October 2004. Early access is granted on a
Secondary (non-interference) basis using a maximum of 26dBW (400 watts) PEP.

Notices of Variation for the Foundation, Intermediate and Full licences have
been published on the Ofcom website.
orse code modes are used between 7.1 and 7.2MHz. B
It is recommended that for the time being only voice and Mand planning
issues on 7MHz will be kept under regular review and will be dependent on
the number of administrations granting early access to this band prior to
full Primary access on 29 March 2009.

The RSGB would like to offer its appreciation to all parties involved in the
consultations, in particular the broadcasting industry, the UK Ministry of
Defence, the Radiocommunications Agency and its successor Ofcom.

Please note that access to the extra 100kHz is only allowed from 0100UTC,
and not midnight UTC, on Sunday morning. Or, put another way, from 2.00am
local time, at which time the clocks are put back by one hour. Local time
will then be 1.00am, the same as GMT or UTC.

We In Ireland (EI) have been granted access since the 20th of October,
However our regulator didn't see fit to actually publish the info anywhere
public and the comreg web site hasn't been updated yet, it has however
been 'published'
It's a well hidden document, the website still links to version 3 and we
are now on version 5, elsewhere on the comreg website version 1 (complete
with errors) is still available.
http://www.comreg.ie/_fileupload/publications/ComReg0277R5.pdf
I had to guess the URL to find the above document!

I rang the regulator this morning in light of the Uk announcment which is
how I found out about our new privileges which are as follows

7.100-7.200 Secondary 20 dBW (ERP) A1A, A2A, A3E, R3E, H3E, J2B, J3E,
J2F F1B, F2B, F3E, G1B

I queried ERP since giving ERP with no actual reference in this context is
meaningless. I suggested with reference to a dipole which was oked by the
regulator (as opposed to 100w EiRP which would be ~50w to a dipole ). I
didn't however think he would have gone for 100w with reference to a full
size 7 ele Yagi so I didn't ask ;-)

I would be interested if you were to post the URL to this
announcement. I've searched OfCom's site, and there is no trace of
this supposed notification that I can find.

RE: GB stations get 7100 to 7200

This information is available to all members of the RSGB and was posted
today on the members only portion of their website. By the way, RSGB is a
great organization, I'm a member and have donated to their foundation.
Their monthly magazine is fantastic and is worth the cost of membership.
