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.

The same 60m band allocation in OK land for 2017

Hi,

I am ready to say that I got the permit for 60m band operation for 2017!

The same frequency allocation as same as power limits and other details are remaining for 2017.

All other Czech 5 MHz permit criteria remain as before (Max. Power 100W e.r.p., 3 kHz max. bandwidth, CW/SSB modes), there is no limit for the number of permits available which is also good information for 2017.

So it is not necessary to occupy the international frequencies for local chats and keep them clear for real DXing!

The allowed frequency 5363.5kHz on CW in OK land can be used without cross-channel operation for working all of the new countries where the WRC-15 preliminary allocation has been issued.

I would like to thanks to CTU as same as MoD for their effort and ability to co-operate on the band-plan and permits conditions for 2017.


Good luck,
