ARLA/CLUSTER: Roménia já pode operar os 5 MHz (5363.5 - 5366.5 kHz )

Romania joins 5 MHz

News has broken that the Romanian telecomms regulator ANCOM has
granted YO amateurs access to 5 MHz on a scheduled testing basis,
starting 8 Apr 2016 for approximately a year’s duration.

At the moment it is limited to the 3 kHz-wide 5363.5 - 5366.5 kHz
slot, CW, PSK, RTTY and WSPR (with possibly other digimodes to follow)
being permitted. Maximum  power allowed is 15W e.i.r.p. and only for
those YO hams who wish to register for the testing program.

It seems that the initial testing in the YO 5MHz test allocation will
take place every Thursday around 16.00 UTC, concomitantly with the YO
DX QTC Net on 3750KHz. Further information can be obtained from the
website of the Romanian national amateur radio society; Federatia
Romana de Radioamatorism – FRR – at
