Italian radio amateurs can use the 70 MHz (4m) band until the end of 2025


In a previous post, I had information about how radio amateurs in Italy had permission to use the 40 MHz (8m) band in 2025. See post HERE

What may have been missed was that the permission from the Italian authorities also applied to the 70 MHz (4m) band. 

From the 8th of April to the end of December 2025, radio amateurs in Italy can use three 25kHz segments of the 70 MHz band centred on 70.100 MHz, 70.200 MHz & 70.300 MHz. These are shown in the graphic above.

The 70.200 MHz segment coincides with the SSB centre of activity. There is no overlap with the usual FT8 frequency of 70.154 MHz so Italian stations have in the past used frequencies around 70.190 MHz.

The maximum power output is 10-watts.
