First 50 MHz licences in Hungary

Three experimental radio licences were issued to three amateur radio organizations permitting restricted amateur radio usage of the 50 MHz band for the first time in Hungary. 65 stations will participate.

The licence is valid for a period of 30 days starting August 1, 2005. The aim of the experiment is to study whether amateur radio usage of the 50 MHz band on a secondary basis causes interference in the reception of broadcasting stations.

The frequency range permitted for the experiment is 50.0500 – 50.5000 MHz, and the licence is valid for all operating modes, including FM and digital modes, like – as an example – PSK. Maximum effective radiated power, ERP, however is limited to 5 watts.
