Radio amateurs in Kazakhstan now have access to the band 5,351.5-5,366.5 kHz on a secondary basis. The allocation came in the wake of a request by the Association of Amateur Radio Services in Kazakhstan (AARSK) to telecommunications regulators. Permissible power output has not yet been established. AARSK is advocating that Kazakhstan follow the provisional IARU Region 1 band plan for 60 meters.
Other countries were expected to grant access to the new, 15 kHz 60-meter band when the Final Acts of World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 went into effect on January 1, but the FCC has yet to allow Amateur Radio 60-meter access beyond the five discrete channels already available.
