New ham radio band at 5 MHz

During the November 18 afternoon plenary session of WRC-15 in Geneva a
new amateur service allocation at 5 MHz was approved

Although only a small allocation of 15 kHz between 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz
was eventually agreed, it is the first new allocation at HF since the
WARC of 1979.

After intense pressure from the Fixed service primary user, power
limits have been set at 15 Watts eirp in Regions 1 and 3, 20 Watts
eirp in Mexico and 25 Watts eirp in Central America, South America and
most of the Caribbean area.

Region 1 Member Societies not having an allocation under Article 4.4
of the Radio Regulations are urged to contact their administration to
have this narrow segment included in their licence, although the new
Radio Regulations will not come into force until January 1, 2017.
