VHF/microwave session at IARU meeting
At the IARU Region 1 Interim meeting last week, a special Sunday morning session that focussed on enhanced VHF/microwave activities was kicked off by John Regnault, G4SWX, the RSGB VHF Manager.
Joining the meeting by Skype, John explained how the UK had gained access to the experimental 71 and 146MHz bands for digital innovation.
Among other things this had fostered ground-breaking developments in reduced bandwidth digital ATV by BATC, which has transformed activity on VHF/UHF.
More recently this innovative work has supported the IARU WRC-19 case for 50MHz; and has also proved to be a popular mode on the new QO-100 geostationary satellite.
