Get ready for 8 Meters?

You may find yourself wandering along the bands one day in USB [ Upper Side Band ] on your way up to the “Magic Band” of 6 Meters and suddenly find yourself listening to a conversation [QSO ] around 40.660 MHz to 40.700 MHz. This band is new to Amateur Radio, and primarily known as the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band.

Croatia was recently added to a very limited list of countries with amateur radio operators with an experimental license for 8 Meter Band. Croatia becomes the fifth country, following Ireland, Slovenia, and South Africa. Lithuania has added spot frequencies, similar to 60 meters in the United States, for experimentation purposes.
