Radio amateurs in Latvia now have two new bands, following the introduction of their new Amateur Radio license on August 9. Access now is permitted to a new 60 meter allocation of 5351.5–5366.5 kHz, with a maximum power output of 15 W EIRP.

Some Latvian hams also now may operate on the new 630 meter band, 472–479 kHz, with a power of 1 W EIRP and a transmitted signal bandwidth no greater than 800 Hz. Privileges on 630 meters in Latvia are available only to Category A (ie, top level) licensees. — Thanks to The 5 MHz Newsletter
