Around the world, several nations have granted radio amateurs permanent access to the 8m band. Others have granted experimental licences. Being between 10m and 6m this would be a really useful small allocation for propagation research.
To my knowledge, the following have granted radio amateurs permanent access. My list may well be incomplete:
- Eire
- Slovenia
- Belgium
- South Africa
- Cayman Is.
Others are trying, Maybe this is a trend that will continue.
Countries that I know have been active (not in the Amateur Radio Service) include:
- Croatia
- Latvia
- Luxembourg
- UK
- Falklands
- Bonaire
- USA
- Australia
- Israel
- Lebanon
- Italy
- Greece

I think you can add Canada to your list, Roger.

Indeed Ken! I am sure I have left out many more too.
The basic message is progressive administrations ARE making a small 8m slot for radio amateurs to carry out valuable research.
I hope the UK comes to its senses soon. Oh look, there flies another pig......
Keith, not Ken!
OFCOM appear stupid insisting that my £50 8m T&I permit started when the application was first made, not when the licence was received and could not be changed. Effectively I got only 11 months!! Brain?
