Extra Facilities for Experimenters
The 70 MHz band of 70.125 to 70.450 MHz has been released generally
to experimenters. This means that any licensed experimenter may now
use the band without the need to make an individual application, as
was the position previously. The upper power limit is 50 watts PEP
and 25 watts PEP for mobile operation. This change has been made in
Part IV of the licence documentation in ComReg Document No 02/77R6 of
the 17th of July 2008.
ComReg has also made provision for the release of to licensed
experimenters of spot frequencies in the segment 5.0 to 5.5 MHz on
the basis of an individual application. The upper power limit is 200
watts PEP.
The frequencies which the IRTS agreed with the military authorities
and with ComReg are four 3 kHz channels centered on 5280, 5290, 5400
and 5405 kHz. These are the same as four of the channels at present
available in the UK. When permissions are issued, operators should
bear in mind that three time sequenced propagation beacons operate on
5290 kHz in the UK. The application form for a licence extension to
cover operation on the 5 MHz frequencies is ComReg Document No
02/07R2 and is available on the ComReg website under Latest
Publications and through a link to ComReg 'Publications in 2008' on
the IRTS homepage at www.irts.ie.
These facilities are the result of a long period of negotiation by
IRTS with ComReg and in relation to the frequencies at 5 MHz with the
military authorities also. ComReg has also published an application
Form for an Automatic Station, that is, a Repeater or a Beacon in
ComReg Document No 08/58 and revised Radio Experimenter Guidelines in
ComReg Document No 02/05R6. These documents are also available
through the link to ComReg 'Publications in 2008' on the IRTS
homepage at www.irts.ie.
