Re: LF: 137kHz Rules and Regs

Hi Dave,

No restrictions to bandwidths? So you could work in SSB as well?

My UK licence shows 0.1357MHz to 0.1378MHz "Secondary on the basis of non-interference to other services inside or outside the UK" at 1W e.r.p. with no restrictions on modes or bandwidths. The wording is exactly the same as for 160 or any other band where the amateur service is not the primary user.
Note "e.r.p." rather than EIRP.

Hello the list...

   The FCC is looking to authorize the 135.7-137.8kHz ham band in the U.S. with 1 W EIRP and beyond that possible restrictions on antenna height and power - also they may implement some restrictions based on proximity to power line carrier (PLC) equipment. Having operated WD2XGJ with up to 4W ERP (6.5W EIRP) within 300 meters of a power line with an active PLC, I feel that this is overly restrictive.

    Can anyone tell me what the rules and practice are in Europe and also Canada? 

I would like to include this info in my response to the FCC.

Tnx!
