Special Research Permits under a Notice of Variation to the= Licence=20 are made available to holders of Full Amateur Licences on a case= by case=20 basis to applicants who can demonstrate a genuine interest in=20 experimentation at these frequencies and provide adequate suppor= ting=20 documentation for assessment.
Due to the usage of the spectrum around the 500 kHz bands,= applicants=20 should pay special attention to demonstrating technical and oper= ational=20 competence in terms of transmitting within the frequency band an= d=20 Effective Radiated Power (e.r.p.) parameters agreed with Ofcom.= Previous=20 experience at 73 kHz as well as 136 kHz will be considered desir= able in=20 this respect to ensure adequate steps are taken to limit any pot= ential=20 interference.
Ofcom will monitor any interference reports and also consid= er=20 limiting numbers if necessary in reviewing operation in the band= . On no=20 account will an e.r.p. level of greater than 10 dBW be permitted= under any=20 circumstance.
