60-METER OPERATION TO
REQUIRE
OPERATOR PRUDENCE, CAUTION
The new five-channel 60-meter domestic secondary amateur allocation becomes available to US Amateur Radio operators at midnight local time on July 3. The FCC Report and Order granting the allocation was published June 3 in the Federal Register. Federal government users are primary in the 5 Mhz band.
The FCC had granted amateurs use of fine 2.8 Khz-wide channels with center frequencies of 5.332, 5.348, 5.368, 5.373 and 5.405 Mhz. The channels will be available to General and higher class licensees. The only permitted mode will be >>>upper-sideband<<<< phone, and 50W ERP is the maximum power allowed.
Users of the 60-meter channels should set their carrier frequency 1.5 Khz lower that the channel center frequency. ARRL suggests restricting transmitted audio bandwidth to 200 Khz on the low end and 2800 Khz on the high end for a total bandwidth of 2.6 Khz. ARRL recommends that amateurs considering modifying existing amateur equipment for operation on 60 meters contact the equipment's manufacturer for advice.

| Tune to | 5.3305 Mhz | 5.3465 Mhz | 5.3665 Mhz | 5.3715 Mhz | 5.4035 Mhz |
If you memorize these "Tune to" frequencies into your rigs there should be compliance with the new channels.
