Austria restricts 23cm band operation
Changes to the legal conditions in the AFU area from 03/13/2023:
Annex 2 of the Amateur Radio Ordinance is omitted and is now regulated in the Frequency Use Ordinance Annex 4.
This results in some changes in the frequency ranges and powers.
For the KW bands 80m, 40m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m and 10m, 1KW (High-Power) can now be approved for Class 1 FA after 1 year of trouble-free operation.
- Thus, the power limitation of 7100-7200 kHz (previously only 200W) in the 40m band is eliminated and AFU has primary status.
- 30m band still only max. 200W if power level B or C approved (no change)
- 160m band from 1810-1850 kHz now max. 200W if power level B or C approved and AFU has primary status.
- 160m band from 1850-2000 kHz only max. 100W (now instead of 1950 kHz up to 2000 kHz)
The 23cm band was kept, but the performance was severely limited
