Hi Scott:
Good to hear from you. You are right, with children the priorities do have to
shift. Enjoy him while you can; they seem to grow up too quickly. Our oldest
grandchild just turned 20 and it seems like anohter era is passing us old
folks by.
Yes, we can now use 2200 metres.
In December 2009, Industry Canada promulgated the revised Canadian
Table of Frequency Allocations, which embodies the changes resulting from
WRC-2007. It includes the Amateur service as a Secondary service in the
band 135.7 - 137.8 kHz, subject to Footnote 5.67A. The footnote says:
"Stations in the amateur service using frequencies in the band 135.7-137.8
kHz shall not exceed a maximum radiated power of 1 W (e.i.r.p.) and shall
not cause harmful interference to stations of the radionavigation service
operating in countries listed in No. 5.67. (WRC-07)".
A copy of the Table is attached.
It took time and effort, but we got there.
I checked with IC and they advised that with the promulgation of the revised
table, it is in force. The appropriate schedules in RBR-4 will be revised in
due course.
We will get a notice drafted up for the May/June issue of TCA.
So, go ahead and use the band. Would be interested to hear what luck you
have. I advised Joe of this a day or two ago, so I guess he has gotten active.
Great to see.
73,
Jim
