5MHz amateur band – it is now official
19 November 2015 | by WRC-15 has ratified the first new HF amateur allocation since 1979. Although only 15kHz wide it was agreed internationally. I hope that CEPT allows a wider contiguous allocation. I am sure I cannot be alone in finding all these non-contiguous 5MHz allocations very confusing.
From the RSGB report on WRC-15:
“Z8 has now officially been agreed as the prefix for South Sudan and will be formally entered into the Radio Regulations. Meanwhile the revised Radio Regulations from WRC-15 will officially come into effect from the 1st January 2017. “

if all goes well and 5 mhz should be a nice coverage band beetween
Latin Countries for sure…BUT fingers crossed.

I wonder what the new allocation will be for 60 meters? It sounds like this is definitely a step in the right direction and am wondering how it will affect ops on that band. We’ll have to wait and see.
If anyone knows what the new allocations will be for 60M? Please let us all know.
