as well as in windows in the CW portion of the 80-metre (3.5-MHz) and
160-metre (1.8-MHz) bands on a permanent basis. For the full details, click here.

On Nov 15th, WRC-07 considered its agenda for the next conference, currently planned for 2011.
The agenda contains an item to consider an amateur band around 500 kHz.

The exact wording of the item Is:

to consider an allocation of about 15 kHz in parts of the band 415-526.5 kHz to the amateur service on a secondary basis, taking into account the need to protect existing services;

The agenda was approved, and over the next few years, the ITU will be studying the possible impact of a small amateur band at 600 metres.

As from 24th of November 2007 Spanish amateurs are allowed to use the band 7100-7200 kHz on a secondary basis, with a total radiated power not exceeding 24 dbW.

They have also gained access to the 51-52 MHz band, so they can use 50-52 MHz with a maximum power of 100 W, except in the center of Spain where the power is limited to 10 W.
