German expanded priviledges and no code requiremen

[N2VHZ]

Now the German telecommunications authority have granted HF operation to their version of "No-code Tech's" or correctly known as class "E" licensed hams.
Whereas they used to operate only on 2 meters and 70 cm they now have expanded onto a few HF bands and the class "A" license which is like our Extra does not have a code requirement in Germany anymore either.
Thought I'd pass that along and see what happens.
I am DA2KW here in Germany and N2VHZ in the states, and operate 20 meters through 70 centimeters from here in Germany.

Hello, this is good news.

Can you (or somebody) tell me what the exact frequencies and power levels are? Hungary has just implemented the CEPT Novice Licence scheme / ECC REC (05)06 / so it would be good to know what our "CEPT Novice" visitors can do while in Germany.

Here are the facts:
Class E, the "no-code tech" gets:
160m, 80m, 15m and 10m H.F. bands @ 75 watts pep.
2m & 70cm bands @ 75 watts pep, and 10Ghz band @ 5 watts.

The class "A" (Extra class) gets:
7100-7200 Khz @ secondary basis with 250 watts p.e.p. and the 50.08-51.00 Mhz @ 25 watts ERP (used to be 10 watts).
Thanks and 73's, Ken, DA2KW

Good news, thanks for info. I have already passed on this piece of news to some people who might be interested, now that novices can also operate abroad.


What concerns the new privileges for the "A" class, do these also apply to foreign visitors with a CEPT licence? (7100-7200 kHz and 50 MHz?)
