WRC-15 News Release. 18 November 2015.
Date : 19 / 11 / 2015
Author : Dale Hughes - VK1DSH
On 18 November 2015, during the 6th WRC-15 plenary meeting, regulatory
text for a new secondary allocation to the amateur service in the
5351.5 – 5366.5 kHz frequency band was approved without comment.
This was the outcome of many meetings during the current 2015
World Radiocommunications Conference, regular ITU-R Working Party
5A meetings and regional Asia-Pacific Telecommunity meetings which
started in early 2012.
Some estimates of success for this WRC-15 agenda item were as low as
20 %, so achieving this successful outcome was very much a team effort
and the result of a great deal of work by individual national delegates,
national amateur societies, the IARU and supportive national administrations.
The new regulatory text will be part of the updated ITU Radio Regulations
which are expected to come into force in January 2017.
If and when Australian amateur operators might get access to the new
60 m band remains unknown as there will need to be discussions with
the ACMA to address local issues.
Other issues of interest or concern to the amateur service are still
being discussed at this WRC. These issues include possible new WRC-19
agenda items that are relevant to the amateur service.
All WRC-15 work will be complete some time before the final WRC-15
plenary session which will be held on Friday 27 November.
It has been a privilege to be part of this work; the efforts and support
of the WIA, the ACMA, Australian Department of Defence representatives
and other Australian WRC-15 delegates must be positively acknowledged.
