WRC-07 and 136kHz

The World Radio Conference agreed a new worldwide secondary allocation to the Radio Amateur Service at 135.7-137.8 kHz, with a maximum radiated power limit of 1 watt ERIP.  

Note that similar to other secondary allocations to the Radio Amateur Service,  any allocation to Amateurs will be subject to the national administration concerned agreeing to make such an allocation in their country.

RSGB LF Group Reflector

An e-mail reflector has been operating for many years now to help encourage those wishing to experiment at LF.  In the early days it concentrated on 73kHz and 136kHz as well as occasionally other LF aspects; with the demise of 73kHz (in the UK) the reflector is one of the main Internet recourses available for coordinating operating and exchanging technical knowledge on 136kHz.

Anyone is free to join the reflector by sending an e-mail to Majordomo@blacksheep.org with the "subject" field blank and the following message in the message field: 

subscribe rsgb_lf_group

To unsubscribe from the reflector a similar e-mail is sent but with the slightly different message: 

unsubscribe rsgb_lf_group
