The use of 5MHz frequencies in the UK are only available by issue
of a special licence to a restricted number amateurs for experimental
purposes on USB only.
I must correct you on that, Bob, to prevent any misunderstanding. The
"Notice of Variation" to the UK Amateur Licence allows use on five
min-bands as follows:
5258.5 to 5261.5 kHz
5278.5 to 5281.5 kHz
5288.5 to 5291.5 kHz
5398.5 to 5401.5 kHz
5403.5 to 5406.5 kHz
The permitted types of transmission are: Morse, Telephony, RTTY, Data,
Facsimile and SSTV. There is a "maximum power level" of 200W PEP (23dBW
relative to 1W).
Because of the small bands, the use of narrow modes is particularly
recommended. When telephony is used, the reference to USB is merely a
recommendation, a sort of band plan, because military use USB and we are
permitted to communicate with military and military cadet organisations
using those bands. Needless to say, when USB is used the centre carrier
frequency should be positioned towards the LF end of the band in use.
The K60XV on the K2 works very well on 60 metres and I can highly
recommend it.
