It seems to be silent regarding any crossband working with amateurs in the normal amateur bands. On the other hand, paragraph (b) of the Operating Guidelines on the RSGB web site states that crossband operation involving the 5 MHz spot frequencies is only permitted between those holding current 5 MHz NoVs. As far as transatlantic working is concerned, the Operating Guidelines on the RSGB web site refer to channel FA (effectively 5258.5 kHz USB) as being used for this purpose between 0000 and 0900 UTC but the 'clockface' document shows international tests as taking place between 0100 and 0400 UTC on channel FC. Let us see what Mal comes up with. 73 John Rabson G3PAI
