  Irish amateurs get 5 and 70MHz allocation  
IRTS logo
   
The 70MHz band between 70.125 and 70.450MHz has been released generally to experimenters in Eire. This means that any licensed experimenter may now use the band without the need to make an individual application. The upper power limit is 50 watts PEP and 25 watts PEP for mobile operation. Provision has also been made for the release of spot frequencies in the segment 5.0 to 5.5MHz on the basis of an individual application. The upper power limit is 200 watts PEP. The frequencies that the IRTS agreed with the military authorities and with ComReg are four 3kHz channels centred on 5280, 5.290, 5.400 and 5.405MHz. These are the same as four of the channels at present available in the UK.
