60 Metres in New Zealand
/The internationally allocated 60-metre amateur band 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz has been cleared of formerly licensed users in New Zealand. This can be confirmed by a public search of the New Zealand register of radio frequencies. New Zealand amateur radio operators now have a clear path to gain access to all of the internationally allocated amateur band 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz.
“I independently liaised with New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) to implement a plan I formulated in January to clear a 60-metre band for amateur radio. NZDF liked my plan and it has relevance to other NZDF radio projects. As I’m an Approved Radio Engineer I can modify radio licenses and NZDF authorized me to make specified changes to their licenses, which cleared bandwidth for amateur radio. These changes were registered by RSM around midday on 8 April. That completed my contribution to the development of a 60-metre amateur band in New Zealand”
