Re: LF: Below 8.3kHz in the UK freuency allocations

[David Hine <evad_hine@yahoo.co.uk>]

I do know that Ofcom allow amateur experimentation below 8.3 kHz without a licence -on the understanding that there is no(harmonics etc.) escaping from the experiments at any frequency above the 8.3 kHz limit. In other words NO signal must escape that is higher than that 8.3 kHz limit -That is it!! -end of!! Dave

Quoting from the entry in the published UK frequency allocations table:

In the UK I take this to mean ANYONE can operate below 8.3kHz without licence or NoV permits being needed, assuming no interference to services above 8.3kHz.

Its odd isn't it, a case of how you read it. There have been thoughts stated elsewhere recently,  personally I don't think it means.
Bands below 8.3 kHz are not allocated within the United Kingdom, so it is a free for all.

It could be.
Bands below 8.3 kHz are not allocated within the United Kingdom, and so are not protected from interference.
Or
Bands below 8.3 kHz are not allocated within the United Kingdom and never will be.
Or
Bands below 8.3 kHz are not allocated within the United Kingdom and must be kept clear at all times.
Or
Bands below 8.3 kHz are not allocated within the United Kingdom as they are receive only and used for research.

More words are needed for clarity, maybe its not specified in order to do keep control of what goes on there, the total opposite of a free for all.
