6m frees up in Germany
Following in the switching off of the last two German analogue TV-transmitters on VHF channel 2,
German telecommunications regulators have now officially lifted the 200km six metre protection zones
around these stations. This gives all German class A licensee holders free and undisturbed access to
the 6 meter band.
