Great news

for QRPers with REALLY long wire antennas:

The FCC has authorized two new bands for experimentation. 2,200 Meter (Yes, that’s right – 2200 Meters) and 630 Meters.  Can you imagine having enough property to build a true 1/2 wave dipole?

2200 Meters will be limited to 1 Watt EIRP and 630 Meters to 5 Watts EIRP.

There are lots of rules to adhere to because “we” will be secondary on these bands, as they are used primarily by Electric Utility companies for controlling the power grid.
