On March 27, 2024, Belgium’s regulator the BIPT published draft restrictions on amateur radio operation in the 23cm (1240-1300 MHz) band.
The new restrictions include:
Class A (equiv UK Full, USA Extra) – size of band reduced from 60 MHz to 8.24 MHz. The satellite allocation is reduced to 1260-1262 MHz and the antenna elevation must always be more than 15° above the horizon and the transmission power is limited to 50 W EIRP. If the elevation is above 55° above the horizon, the power is increased to 500 watts EIRP
Class B (equiv UK Intermediate / USA General) – 1296-1300 MHz only
Class C (equiv UK Foundation / USA Technician) – No access (unchanged)
