Thai Hams Now Authorized to Operate on More Bands
On October 12, radio amateurs in Thailand were granted permission to operate on 12, 17 and
30 meters and in the CW portion of the 80 and 160 meters on a permanent basis. Before this
time, Thai hams had only been able to operate on the 80 and 160 meters on weekends during

a few occasions for certain special event stations.
