More countries gain access to
extended 40m band in January

Chairman of the RSGB Spectrum Forum, Colin Thomas, G3PSM, reports that Denmark has published a plan to allow amateur radio in the band 7100 - 7200kHz from 1 January 2005.

The Polish regulatory authority has agreed that the band 7100-7200 kHz is to become available to Polish amateurs on a secondary basis, effective with the date of bringing into force the new National Frequency Allocation Table, the publication of which is expected in January.

Other countries where IARU member societies have approached their authorities for early access to the extended band include Belgium, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
