Italian amateur radio 70-MHz experimental
campaign
- BREAKING NEWS -
Upon request of Luca Ferrara IK0YYY, the Italian
Ministry of Communications, in coordination with the
Ministry of Defense, is willing to kindly authorize an
amateur radio experimental campaign on the 70-MHz band
(4 meters) up to December 31, 2007. Activities will
however only be possible after the authorization has
actually been signed. Such campaign is being carried
out under the technical coordination of Piero
Tognolatti I0KPT, Full Professor of the
Electromagnetic Fields Group and Director of the
Electrical Engineering and Information Theory
Department of the University of lAquila.
The technical parameters are:
Modes: all (SSB, CW, AM, FM, RTTY, digital modes,
etc.)
Frequencies:
- 70.100 MHz  12.5 kHz
- 70.200 MHz  12.5 kHz
- 70.300 MHz  12.5 kHz
Maximum RF power: 25W EIRP
Operational area: the whole Italian territory except
for a
30 km strip from the Austria, France and
Switzerland borders
Antenna types: omnidirectional and directional
The experimental campaign, whose results will be
published after its conclusion, is open to all Italian
radioamateurs.
A beacon transmitting on frequency 70.088 MHz (mark)
with FSK modulation (500-Hz upward shift) is shortly
going to be installed. This is at the very low edge of
the authorized band.
We wish to express our warm thanks to the Italian
Ministry of Communications (Ing. F. Troisi and Dr. A.
Cascio) and to the Italian Ministry of Defense, who,
despite the administrative and operational hurdles,
have once more given the Italian radioamateurs a clear
sign of esteem and credibility. Sincere thanks are
also given to the Università of L'Aquila (Prof. P.
Tognolatti) for its exquisite and effective
cooperation.
