Early release of Finnish WRC 5 MHz allocation and clarification of club permit

Hi All,

On the subject of Finnish 5 MHz changes, here is a recent update, as
of Friday 9 th Dec.

Although originally expected to have a starting date of January 1
2017, in a surprise announcement on 9 December 2016, the Finnish
communications authority, FICORA, issued a decision permitting access
to the new WRC-15 60m allocation for all Finnish amateur licensees.
The allocation is from 5351.5 to 5366.5 kHz on a Secondary basis with
a maximum power of 15W EIRP. All modes are permitted.

Previously only Club stations had access to 60m in Finland, by means
of applying for a limited-time special authorization permit to operate
on seven 5 MHz channels with a maximum power of 50 Watts on USB only,
the USB dial frequencies for these being 5288.6, 5298.6, 5330.6,
5346.6, 5366.6, 5371.6, and 5398.6 kHz.

Starting 9 December 2016, all licensees in Finland have access to the
WRC-15 60m band. The special Club permits will continue to be valid
but only until the end of their respective licence periods.

( Tnx: SRAL, FICORA, OH2BU )
