The Union de Radioaficionados Espanoles (URE <http://www.ure.es/>) --
Spain's IARU <http://www.iaru.org/> Member-Society -- announced that the
Secretaría de Estado de Telecomunicaciones y para la Sociedad de la
Información (SETSI
<http://www.mityc.es/telecomunicaciones/es-ES/Paginas/index.aspx>)
(Spain's equivalent to the USA's FCC) has extended temporary privileges
on the 70 MHz band
<http://www.mityc.es/telecomunicaciones/Espectro/radioaficionados/Documents/Resolucion70MHz.pdf>
(4 meters) to hams in that country. In 2008, hams in Spain were granted
70 MHz privileges for six months
<http://www.arrl.org/news/spanish-hams-receive-new-frequency-privileges>.
Spanish
amateurs may now use 70.150-70.200 MHz, with a maximum of 10 W; the
average power of emission outside the authorized band should not exceed
25 µW.
SETSI cited that reasons behind extending the temporary privileges
include the fact that other European countries have privileges in this
band, as well as that the amateurs' earlier use of the 70 MHz band did
not result in any harmful interference to other authorized radio
communications services. SETSI did say that if these temporary privilege
cause "detrimental interference" to other radio services, they will be
"suspended immediately." These privileges are good for one year and will
expire on July 1, 2011.
