In the U.S., Amateur Radio service has access to the "60 meter band" that isn't like most other allocations. Instead of a band, it's five distinct channels, offered on a secondary basis, that allow for interaction with U.S. Government stations.

Falling about midway between the 80-75m and 40m bands, it's an excellent candidate for NVIS propagation. Its location in the spectrum and the interoperability make it a critical resource for emergency communicators and any AUXCOMM program.

We look at the band and how to get started with it.
