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.

Italy on 60m band by Angelo, IK0MIZ

Dears,

good news coming from Italians friends as follows...

"October 22, the decree was published in the Official Gazette of the Italian Republic with: 

National frequency distribution plan between 0 and 3,000 Ghz.(18A06719) (Gazz.Uff general series n.244 of 19-10-2018 - Ordinary Supplement n, 49) which assigns the portion from 5331 to 5365.5 khz (60 meters) with a maximum power of 15 Watt: The frequency band 5351.5 - 5366.5 khz is also attributed to the amateur radio service with a secondary service status. Radio operator stations using the 5351.5 - 5366.5 frequency band shall not exceed the maximum irradiated isopropic power of 15W (e.i.r.p.) (WRC-15)."


Several stations from Italy appeared on the band last nights. Even Carlo, ISOXCU can be worked on CW. Thanks Carlo for nice QSO!

(Thanks for message to Angelo, IK0MIZ)
