EuCW Bulletin No 2020/01
========================
1) Covid-19
Dear friends, I am writing to you after a few months of silence due to the
very difficult situation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic virus which, as you
know, has heavily affected, in particular, Northern Italy and especially the
city of Bergamo where I live with my family. We have gone through very
difficult moments and some of you have written to me telling that you have
had to face very serious problems, both family and professional. I hope
that you are all healthy and safe and I invite you not to let your guard
down, in view of the Autumn period: it is not finished yet. I hope to hear
from you soon and that you can take parto to the initiatives of our Club.
2) IARU Region 1 General Conference
As you know, the IARU Region 1 General Conference will be in Novi Sad, Serbia
by virtual means andit is starting in a few months (October 10–16 2020).
In the light of the COVID-19 problems, General Conference will be divided
into two parts.
The first part will be held on the scheduled dates by virtual means and the
second part in-person in Novi Sad on a date to be determined in 2021. The
11–15 October 2020 event will consider much of the “business as usual”
elements of a General Conference in Committees C2, C3, C4, C5 and C7. We
received the IARU “news” that you can read on the official IARU web site:
“Because frequency allocations and amateur radio operating interests vary in
different parts of the world, the development of band plans – voluntary
guidelines on the use of the spectrum that is available to radio amateurs –
is a responsibility of the three IARU regional organizations. Each of the
three Regions has a band planning committee to focus on this work. In recent
years there have been increased efforts to bring the regional band plans into
alignment wherever possible. Final approval of band plan revisions is
generally given by the regional conferences of IARU member-societies that are
held every three years on a rotating basis. This approach to band planning
generally has kept pace with the evolution of amateur radio operating.
However, the explosive growth in HF (below 30 MHz) digital modes,
particularly FT8, has led to perceived overcrowding of HF digital mode band
segments. Accordingly, a working group has been formed consisting of
representatives of the three regional band planning committees. This is the
first time the three Regions have joined together to directly coordinate band
planning efforts. The working group has already had fruitful discussions
with the WSJT Development Group led by Joe Taylor, K1JT. Additional
discussions, including with other HF stakeholders, will be held as part of a
fundamental review of the different HF digital modes, and how they can be
best categorized and arranged to share the limited spectrum available.
The main aim is to develop solutions that reduce congestion within very
popular mode segments while preventing mutual interference between
incompatible modes to the greatest extent possible. While the proposed band
plan revisions will have to be approved by member-societies in each Region,
recent administrative changes mean that the changes can be implemented
without having to wait for the regional conferences.
You are all invited, in view of the Conference, to send us any proposals or
opinions, with particular regard to the question relating to the frequency
segments to be assigned or confirmed to the cw mode. Every proposal, comment
or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
