Belgian Radio Amateurs may soon get 500 kHz band
The Belgian National Society website indicates that Belgian Radio Amateurs may soon get access
to a band at 500 kHz.
The Nederlands version of the Royal National Society of Belgian Radio Amateurs (UBA) website
reports a meeting on 9th January with the Ministry of Defence (current user of 500 kHz).
Following the meeting it appears that the regulator, the Belgian Institute for Postal
services & Telecommunications (BIPT), indicated that Amateurs holding the "Full" licence (HAREC)
would be permitted 501 to 504 kHz (as in the United Kingdom) on a secondary basis with a power
limit of 5 watts ERP CW (substantially higher than the UK limit of 0.1 watts).
It is expected that the BIPT will shortly make a formal announcement on its website.
