60m Band a Step Closer in France

French regulator ARCEP has issued a decision that will lead to radio amateurs getting secondary access to the 60m band 5351.50-5366.50 kHz agreed at WRC-15

5360 kHz - ARCEP Decision No. 19-1412 Published 14/11/2019

ARCEP Decision No. 2019-1412 of 24 September 2019 amending Decision No. 2012-1241, modifying the conditions governing the use of frequencies by radio stations in the amateur service or the amateur-satellite service.

The decision to assign the band 5.360 MHz to the amateur service is therefore validated by ARCEP.

This decision must now be sent to the competent minister for approval and publication in the Official Journal (OJ).

It is only then that the band will be open to traffic, under the conditions provided by the text of the ARCEP.
