Ria,

I don’t recall seeing a specific IARU resolution dealing with 5 Mhz.  I will follow up with that to make sure. 

The U.S. is one of only a few administrations that have channelized 60 meters.  Region 1, 2 and 3 all have regional band plans that are NOT channelized.  There are sub-bands within the 5 Mhz band but no channels.

73, Rod

What is our current status regarding the 60m allocation?

Are we looking to ask the FCC and NTIA for it to be made it non-channelized, or are we fine with status quo?

From what I understand there was an IARU recommendation.

If we do get rid of the channels, for many radios today it’s just a software update to implement. 

Thanks
