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)

SM - Sweden QSX on 60m by Thomas, SM3NRY

Hello,

 yesterday I worked Thomas, SM3NRY on 60m band. I listened him on 5390kHz while my TX was on standard ch5/5405kHz. I really enjoyed very nice buz with Thomas. 

 I realized that Sweden ops are not so happy with their channels allocation as they are not allowed to operate on standard set of channels like UK or US etc. 

 Sweden 60m band allocation is as follows:

 5310 kHz
5320 kHz
5380 kHz
5390 kHz

 All modes are allowed. 
Power allowed to use is 100W. 
Bandwidth per channel is 4kHz. 

 It means that our friends from Sweden are really restricted on the band and its not easy to work all others. The QSX is the only way as same as for Spanish ops on that band. So I would like to kindly ask all of 60m friends to remember our friends with different band allocation and listenned/operate often with QSX to their windows please. 

 If You are not remember which frequencies to be used for these friends like EA, SM then check this blog, hi. 

 Good luck on the band,

 73 - Petr, OK1RP
