IARU Informal Band Planning Group (IIBPG) founded To promote the harmonisation of band plans in the three IARU regions and to inform about possible changes in advance, the IARU Informal Band Planning Group (IIBPG) has been founded. In future, three radio amateurs from each of the IARU Regions 1, 2 and 3 will belong to this informal group. Al Penney, VO1NO (Chair, R2 Band Planning Committee) and Sion Chow, 9M2CQC (IARU R3 Bandplan Coordinator) are already members. Region 1 is represented by Stein-Roar Brobakken, LB3RE (NRRL), Ian Greenshields, G4FSU (RSGB) and Tom Kamp, DF5JL (DARC). Thus, a working group of the C4 Committee implemented a decision of the last General Conference (GC) in Landshut.
