<H1>60m, is it a new band for Portugal?</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>According to José Miguel Fonte, CT1ENQ) on a message posted
in the Portuguese mailing list ARLA/CLUSTER, <STRONG>José de Sá,
CT1EEB</STRONG>, is active on 5,403.5 MHz with a daily pileup.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Trusting the same source, such incredible experience is
only likely to happen due to a special authorization from ICP-ANACOM (the
regulator, supervisor and representative of the communications sector in
Portugal), valid until the end of July 2010.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>While it's impossible to predict if more Portuguese
stations will follow this example over the next weeks, the location of Murtosa
IN50qr will be on the air, at irregular intervals, on 60 metres.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>For additional details on CT1EEB ham radio station, please
be so kind and visit the homepage at </FONT><A href="http://www.qsl.net/ct1eeb"

<P><FONT face=Tahoma>This first activity on 5,371.5 MHz (CW) and 5,403.5 MHz
(SSB) is no doubt opening prospects for a promising acknowledgment of a 60 m
frequency segment to Portuguese Ham Radio stations, somewhere in the
future.</FONT></P>
