Here's a summary of the information that Amos, 4Z1AB, the IARC - Israel Amateur Radio Club (national society) President has given:
----------------------------------------------------------------
The Israeli regulator - the Ministry of Communications -
(IMOC) has decided to grant 5 MHz/60m temporary permission on an
individual application basis.
8 Channels are available to General and Extra Class licence holders.

The channels are as per the list below (the number represents USB dial frequency) -for CW 1.5 kHz above. There is some flexibility on Digi modes with 2500 Hz out of the 3kHz channel width. No split operation

Channel 3 5357.0 RTTY PSK CW USB
Channel 4 5366.5 USB CW RTTY PSK
Channel 5

Channel 7 5403.5 USB RTTY PSK CW
Channel 8 5407.0 USB RTTY PSK CW
Channel 7 5403.5 USB RTTY PSK CW
Channel 8 5407.0 USB RTTY PSK CW
Power - 100W PEP measured at the TX (not EIRP)
The IARC's main goal is as always to experiment for
local short range emergency communication readiness and the long distance
activity is a side product of this.
The validity is from application approval date until mid March 2014 but it appears this could be extended. Operation is on a secondary status of course and was coordinated with the spectrum committee of the IMOC representing some other relevant organizations.

The IARC have had some flexibility in the choice of frequencies and in doing so have endeavoured to coordinate these with 5 MHz/60m amateur frequencies and activities already in existence. It is hoped that as IMOC gain confidence in 5 MHz/60m activity by Israeli amateurs as Secondary status users, then further frequencies may be made available Amos, 4Z1AB, the President of the Israel Amateur Radio Club concluded his news by saying "We are all excited to work 60 metres with the ham community - wishing all 73 and 'Shalom' from the Holy Land"
Many thanks for Paul, G4MWO for his effort in order to share all of the important informations about 60m band activity > thanks to his 5MHz Newsletter!
I hope that we will have chance to work friends from 4X quite soon and often on 60m band.
73 - Petr, OK1RP
