Preparation for WRC-15
IARU Region 1 reports good progress was made at the final European preparation meeting for the World Radio Conference that will be held in November.
For 5MHz, CEPT have agreed that the overall range should be 5350-5450kHz, though opposition at the conference is still expected.
However, this is not likely to result in any changes to the 5MHz spectrum allocated for UK amateur use in the near future.
Proposals for the future harmonisation of the 1.8 and 50MHz bands have also been developed and it is hoped that at least one of these gets adopted as an agenda item for the next conference in 2019.
