[João Costa > CT1FBF]

5 MHz for Jamaica

Hot on the heels of now being code-free, Jamaica also has access to 5 MHz.

In a recent update to their National Frequency Allocation Table
published by regulator the Jamaican Spectrum Management Authority
(SMA), the WRC-15 60m Amateur Secondary Allocation of 5351.5 – 5366.5
kHz has been granted under ITU Footnote 5.133B, which in the case of
Jamaica means a maximum power of 25W EIRP.

Spokesman for the Jamaican Amateur Radio Association (JARA), 2nd
Vice-President  Ivor, 6Y5DW, said that JARA is advocating use of the
new IARU Region 2 60m bandplan.

Nigel 6Y5HN added:
Our Field Day is coming up on the weekend of June 23-25 where we will
be setting up communications both voice and digital in the town of
Port Antonio in the Parish of Portland on the North Eastern end of the
Island. We will be operating  under the Jamaica Amateur Radio Assoc.
(JARA) club's callsign 6Y5RA/p.  If you would like to make a 'sked'
let me know. We can probably resonate an all band wire ant. somewhere
within this "new" band.
