Increase in Output power on VHF and UHF Frequencies. The South African Radio League recommends the following changes 50- 54 MHz 50-52 MHz = 30 dBW 53 54 MHz = 26 dBw – 144 146 MHz A = 30 dBW – 1240 1300 MHz A= 30 dBW – 1260 1270 MHz A= 30 dBw This subsection could be deleted as it is a part-duplication – of the above 1240 - 1300 assignment 2300- 2450 MHz A= 30 dBW 5650 5850 MHz A= 30dBW – Motivation Radio Amateurs, by nature of their license are experimenters and are engaged in experimental transmissions using, amongst others, transequatorial propagation, sporadic E propagation and EME ( Earth Moon Earth communication bouncing signals off the moon) which require higher power and large antenna structures. By increasing the allowable output power to 33 dBW would enable South Africans to compete with the world. (see additional technical motivation)
