Amateurs (IRA), reports that the Icelandic Post and Telecom administration
has extended access to the 500 kHz (493-510 kHz), 70 MHz (70.000-70.200
MHz) and 5 MHz bands by two years, until 31 December 2012. As for 60
metres, TF operators have been granted 150 kHz (5360-5410 kHz) instead of
the previous eight fixed channels, but the maximun power allowed has been
reduced from 200 to 100 watts.

is still ongoing.
