       I've seen so many excited (or annoyed) notices about the changes to the 60m #HamRadio band in the US. Many of them seemed to think that they were in effect already (wrong) and those that didn't make that mistake would just say "soon" (not helpful).It turns out that 13 February 2026 is the day that you can use the additional band allocation on your radio (for which you may need a firmware update, depending on the radio), and when in the space previously channelized within that new allocation, you must not exceed 9.15 watts ERPI had previously missed this release from 15 January from the ARRL: https://www.arrl.org/news/new-60-meter-frequencies-available-as-of-february-13 and given that I didn't see it mentioned here maybe some of the rest of you missed it too. 😀
