General Class and above license holders in the United States will soon have access to an expanded portion of the 60 Meter band.

Specifically, the Commission allocated 5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz (60 meters) to the amateur service on a secondary basis with a permitted power of 9.15 watts ERP. The Commission also authorized amateurs to continue using four existing channels outside of the 5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz band centered on 5332, 5348, 5373, and 5405 kHz on a secondary basis with a permitted power of 100 watts ERP.

This new allocation is in line with the regulations adopted during the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference.
