Changes to 10 GHz Amateur Radio Band |
Press release - 22 January 1999
The Radiocommunications Agency announced today a change to the 10 GHz band for holders of both full and Novice Amateur Radio Licences. These changes were originally announced on 31 July 1998 (Press Notice P/98/620) and are effective from 1 February 1999. Other minor amendments have also been made.
Notes for Editors
1. There are two types of Amateur Radio Licence, the full and the Novice. Applicants for a full licence must have passed the Radio Amateurs' Examination while applicants for a Novice licence must have completed a practical training course and have passed the Novice Radio Amateurs' Examination. Novices are allocated segments of the bands allocated to full licence holders and operate at reduced power levels.
2. There are two classes of licence, A and B. Class A licence holders have passed a Morse test (12 words per minute for the full licence and 5 words per minute for the Novice licence) and can operate on all allocated bands. Class B licence holders are restricted to bands above 30 MHz.
