Back From Summer Break
New Bands!
The FCC approved the two new bands, which we discussed previously:
2200 Meters - 135.7-137.8 kHz
630 Meters - 472-479 kHz
You must first notify the Utilities Technology Council (UTC) that you plan on using the bands. If the Council does not respond within 30 days, you may begin using the band.
Full explanation and link to UTC is here: http://www.arrl.org/news/view/fcc-opens-630-and-2200-meter-bands-stations-must-notify-utc-before-operating
Great resources at http://www.472khz.org/
The bands are mostly for CW and narrow band digital modes. There are some modern radios that can operate on these bands, sometimes with modifications and low-pass filers added on. There are also homebrew projects, and transverters.
See you on the air!
