WIA representative on the IARU team at WRC-15

During the recent International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 3 meeting
in Bali Indonesia (October 12-16), WIA representatives Phil Wait VK2ASD and
Peter Young VK3MV informally discussed funding for the international work
of Dale Hughes VK1DSH.
Dale is Chair of the ITU Working Party 5 (WP-5), which deals with issues
concerning the amateur and amateur satellite services.
He has attended a series of five meetings by the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity
in the lead up to the current World Radio Conference (WRC-15),
which is about to be held in Geneva (November 2-27),
and which will be discussing a proposed new secondary allocation for the
amateur service around 5300 kHz.
The work of Dale as Chair of WP-5 has occurred mostly behind the scenes and
has been half funded by the WIA members and half funded by the IARU.
The IARU and the WIA have now come to a new arrangement where the international
amateur community, through the IARU, will provide a greater share of funding,
and will also fund Dale’s attendance at WRC-15. The financial load to
WIA members is now significantly reduced.
The head of the Australian Delegation to WRC-15 said that Dale is valuable
member of the Australian Delegation.
He has been doing an excellent job, and both the IARU and the WIA are very
appreciative of his valuable time, expertise, and ongoing commitment to the
maintenance and expansion of our operating privileges.
Dale Hughes' VK1DSH international work follows that done by many others
from the WIA, including David Wardlaw VK3ADW and the late Michael Owen VK3KI (sk).
At the IARU Region triennial conference held in Bali in October were the
WIA President Phil Wait VK2ASD, and delegate, now IARU regional director,
Peter Young VK3MV.
