Thread-topic: 137kHz Rules and Regs

Hello Warren,

 

in most European countries the access to the 2200m band is based on CEPT/ERC Recommendation 62-01 E that states that "the band 135.7-137.8 kHz may be used with a maximum e.r.p. of 1 Watt on a secondary basis by the Amateur Service in CEPT countries"

So it's 1W ERP instead of 1W EIRP, a 2.15dB difference (in favour of ERP).

For most stations however this limit is not an issue as due to practical restrictions they don't run more than some 10 or 100mW.

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!
