The FCC’s newly approved 60‑meter amateur radio frequencies will officially open on February 13, 2026, introducing a worldwide allocation between 5351.5 and 5366.5 kHz with a 2.8 kHz bandwidth limit and a reduced power cap of 9.15 watts ERP. While several long‑standing 60‑meter channels remain available at 100 watts ERP, the 5358.5 kHz channel has been removed and folded into the new subband. These changes stem from the WRC‑15 international agreement and come with strict requirements to avoid harmful interference, maintain accurate antenna gain records, and ensure digital operators stay within authorized frequency limits.
