IARU NEWS: HF DIGITAL MODE BAND PLAN REVIEW ---> "Because frequency alloca-
tions 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", IARU Secretary David Sumner, K1ZZ
posted to the website of IARU on 14 August. "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 wher-
ever 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 commit-
tees. This is the first time the three Regions have joined together to di-
rectly coordinate band planning efforts.
The working group has already had fruitful discussions with the WSJT de-
velopment 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 incom-
patible modes to the greatest extent possible. While the proposed band plan
revisions will have to be approved by member-societies in each Region, re-
cent administrative changes mean that the changes can be implemented without
having to wait for the regional conferences.
Amateurs are encouraged to follow progress through their IARU member Soci-
ety and the respective IARU websites, all of which can be reached via
https://www.iaru.org/".
TT8RR & TT8XX ---> The Italian DXpedition Team's operation from Chad, which
was planned to take place from 29 September to 12 October [425DXN 1505], has
been postponed until sometime next year, "Covid-19 situation permitting".
Updates will be posted to http://www.i2ysb.com/idt/.
W/VE ISLANDS ---> This year's edition of the W/VE Islands QSO Party will be
held from 12 UTC on 29 August through 03.00 UTC on the 30th (15 hours). Com-
plete information can be found on https://usislands.org/qso-party-rules/.
XU7AKU & XU7AKV ---> Tad, JA1DFK is active as either XU7AKU and XU7AKV from
Phnom Penh, Cambodia during the next couple of years. He operates mainly CW
and SSB, with some digital activity. QSL via Club Log's OQRS, or direct to
