The 73 kHz Page

On 29th April 1996, the British government announced that UK radio amateurs could use the band 71.6 - 74.4 kHz.

The impetus came from amateurs who want to experiment with LF communications through rock into caves. Activity is not limited to cave communications, however, and any Class A licensee will be able to use up to 1 Watt ERP with any suitable mode.

These Web pages were written in the days following this announcement, but are no longer maintained. They are kept here as reference material only.
