Who else has 5.3 MHz privileges? HB9 does starting Jan 1, 2017

[EA2IF]

Hi Paul,
So far I have contacted the following countries GW, OY, G, PA, VE, HA, OZ, ON, EA, LZ, A4, 9A and I know CT are also allowed to use 60m band, although I’ve never had QSO with any CT.

You can also have a look to these threads about 60m in this Reflector.

NEWSFLASH! 60m band 15 KHz allocation likely in 2017

Allocation at 60 Meters Approved at WRC15

SOTA News March 2016

Rob, just for information, I have had nineteen successful chases so far this month on 5 megs. For comparison I had eleven in the whole month of February last year, 22 in 2014 and 18 in 2013. I see no sign that activity has dropped off, but some of it has moved off the favourite channels (5.3175, 5.3985, 5.4035) probably because of increased useage from the continent. I suspect that your reduced success is a statistical anomaly, please don’t give up on the band too quickly! Brian

CW on 60m

Hi all, My 60m CW experiment was a success. During my week in Northern Ireland I activated Slemish Mountain, Agnews Hill and Big Colin (what a fabulous name for a hill). On each summit I activated using several bands including 60m. SSB was carried out on 5.398.5 / 5.395MHz and CW on 5.381.5MHz. The CW activations were preceded with self spotting. 4 countries and 11 contacts were logged. From small acorns, large oaks do grow. No tails on the aerial, no QRM, non UK stations. Let the fun begin. …

Best 73 and I hope to copy you soon on 60m.
