Welcome to Tropical band

To most people the phrase "tropical bands" bring a pretty clear picture to mind - a bunch of shirtless guys playing calypso music. But to experienced shortwave DXers those two little words express the most challenging and enjoyable part of the radio hobby. The phrase kindles memories of a DXer's best catches and favorite QSLs, of exotic stations, music and of early morning listening sessions. (Don Moore)
I like the "Tropical band" name for new 60m allocation. (OK1RP)

Effective from 1st Jan 2017 please paper QSL via OM-bureau only.

CX - Uruguay on 60m by Ton, CX7OV

11-May-2014

Hello,

As I confirmed with Luis CX7AF, Jose CX2SA and others the 60 meters band in Uruguay "CX, CV, CW" (as opposed to our preview posts) is NOT AUTHORIZED according to official email received on 9th May of 2014 for URSEC (Uruguayan Administration).

URSEC reports that amateur radio regulation remains unalterably for today.

This segment is assigned to other services different from amateur radio.

For this reason all communications made on 60 meters band with uruguayan stations are not valid. 

Many thanks to our friends in CX for their help and co-operation and I am still keep fingers crossed into the future.

Hello, good news is coming from Ton, CX7OV. Ton informed me that 60m is new allowed band in Uruguay.

The few people are already testing the 60m band using "VICON" as CX7SI on frequency 5357.5kHz. Used power is currently 30W output on CW and its operating 24hrs daily.

I tried to copy their sigs on the band after 03:00Z  (close to SR in CX) and I detected some beeps over there but finally I am not sure if the sigs came from CX1SI. So I will try to investigate more.

    Hello! They reported that the administration of the Republic of Uruguay (South America) I authorized the operation on the amateur 60 meter band from 12 April. We are waiting for official communication, while we use all five channels and in USA We are experiencing several stations, as CX7OV, CX8BR, CX6DH, CX5EM, CX9AUCX5TR, CX7AF and others.
    CX7AF calls every night (local time GMT -3) in 5405.0 CW mode.

    Hello, for me CX8BR inform you that so far has not emerged certifying official information habilitation 60mts band, so I refrain from making inroads into these frequencies. I only had to overcome a experimental mode but nothing more. This authorization is not included in the regulations even so I doubt that we will be an entity valid international certificates.

    regards
    Alex.

    Please take note, that the 60 m band is legally operated since 24/02. All the contacts made before that date are ilegals (some used the band in this lrregularly form on April 2014 and other were using it from last Feb. 1st to 23th also irregularly). And the allocation of the band only responds to the implementation of the WRC-15 allocation of it, and nothing else. That is the reason, it was not available before.
