7100-7200kHz section of 40m in France

In France, the 7100-7200kHz section of 40m was discussed recently at the Commission of Planning of Frequencies (CPF).

The modification of the National Table of Distribution of the Frequency bands was approved, allotting this segment to the amateur service on an exclusive basis.

This modification must now be the ratified then the decision will have to be approved by ministerial decree. This procedure usually takes a few weeks and one can look forward to the publication of this decree before the summer.

The allotting of this segment to the amateur service is as a result of a resolution at the World Conference of the Radio Communications of the UIT in 2003
