Also in GB2RS this week…
Throughout 2020 the IARU has been busily contributing to and participating in the work of CEPT Project Team SE40 concerning the 23cm band Galileo/GLONASS coexistence topic. The last SE40 meeting in 2020 was held from the 2nd to the 7th of December and the IARU Region 1 was represented by Barry Lewis, G4SJH who is the Region 1 SRLC chair. It can be expected that the technical studies will begin in earnest as we move forward into 2021. You can read more on the IARU Region 1 website, www.iaru-r1.org
