Amateur Radio in WRC-12 Agenda Document

Amateur Radio in WRC-12 Agenda Document

Amateur radio is mentioned in the preface of the ITU agenda document for the World Radiocommunication Conference 2012 (WRC-12) taking place in Geneva Jan 23 - Feb 17.

The preface of the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference Agenda and References (Resolutions and Recommendations) says:

"So as to try to better assist you in your preparations for the conference, I would like to present to you this booklet that offers, not only the agenda for the WRC-12, but also all pertinent resolutions and recommendations that are referenced therein.

I confess that I have been inspired by the initiative of the International Amateur Radio Union that first presented a similar document and take this opportunity to convey my appreciation to the IAU [sic]."

Among the WRC-12 agenda items of interest to the Amateur and Amateur-satellite Services are:

1.15 to consider possible allocations in the range 3-50 MHz to the radiolocation service for oceanographic radar applications, taking into account the results of ITU-R studies, in accordance with Resolution 612 (WRC-07);

1.19 to consider regulatory measures and their relevance, in order to enable the introduction of software-defined radio and cognitive radio systems, based on the results of ITU-R studies, in accordance with Resolution 956 (WRC-07);

1.22 to examine the effect of emissions from short-range devices on radiocommunication services, in accordance with Resolution 953 (WRC-07);

1.23 to consider an allocation of about 15 kHz in parts of the band 415-526.5 kHz to the amateur service on a secondary basis, taking into account the need to protect existing services

ok no 134kHz this time, but I hope we get something in the 400-525kHz range.

 

WRC Conference Preparations

Excellent job getting the HF shortwave broadcast stations to move off of the lower portion of 40 Meters. Now if we can get them off the last 100 KHz of the phone band we can enjoy 24 hour usage of the band rather than day light times only.

Thank You for the Bandwidth
