CEPT working group adopts early-access recommendation

The CEPT Electronic Communications Committee (ECC) Working Group FM (WGFM) has adopted a recommendation, ECC/REC(05)05, regarding early access in the band 7100-7200 kHz.

The recommendation states that administrations within CEPT may allow stations in the Amateur Service to use the band 7100-7200 kHz on a secondary basis, provided that the transmitter output power does not exceed 250 W.

Following public consultation of the draft recommendation, the WGFM adopted ECC/REC(05)05 on September 28 at its meeting in Koblenz, Germany. The number of countries that allow early access is growing. The Russian Federation and
Singapore joined the list last week, and the Netherlands and Austria are expected to permit access soon.

Additional information and a list of countries that have adopted early access to 7100-7200 kHz are available on the IARU Region 1 Web site
