| February 9, 2012

Agenda Item 1.23 – 500kHz

This is still on schedule for the first reading during the plenary session late on Friday afternoon.

Agenda Item 8.2 – Future Agenda Items

5MHz

A Draft Resolution for the proposal from Cuba—to consider the possible new allocation to the amateur service on a secondary basis at around 5 300 kHz in accordance with Resolution [Amateur-HF] (WRC-12) – was considered during a meeting of the sub working group dealing with general future conference agendas. There were a number of administrations supporting this proposal but Japan and the Asia Pacific Telecommunity (APT) indicated they are against. The Draft Resolution was approved and has now been passed to Working Group 6C for consideration. This still has a long way to go before possible acceptance.
