My information was inaccurate, I'm sorry. EA stations can use ONLY
70.150 AND 70.200 MHz (with a bandwith of 12 KHz), but NO other
frequencies between 70.150 AND 70.200. The official text is at:
http://www.ure.es/legislacion/4-regl...de-160-m-.html
It says that we are granted the frequencies 70.150 MHz AND 70.200 MHz
with an apparent radiated power of 10w and a max.bandwitdh of 12 kHz.

SAARS will be activating Little Talbot Island (IOTA NA-138) from
noon Saturday Nov 15 noon Sunday Nov 16th. All hams are invited
to join us and participate in the fun. LATEST NEWS from Andy, N8OFS,
dated 2008-10-31: Our current plans are to transmit part of the time
on 6 meters. The island is a state park and due to some restrictions
we can only put up one antenna so we will only have one operation radio.
We have decided that whoever is operating the radio will have the
choice of band and mode so I don't have a set schedule. If you want
we can try to work out some skeds with you. If I get more details then
I'll forward them to you. Marshall Harrison - W4MKH
