A quiet day in comparison to recent days saw progress for a number of amateur service associated agenda items.<\/p>\nA quiet day in comparison to recent days saw progress for a number of amateur service associated agenda items.<\/p>\n
Future Proposals (AI-10):<\/strong> The 50 MHz proposal that was approved at drafting group level suffered a minor setback when presented to working group 6B. Iran insisted that a footnote concerning their usage of frequencies at 50 MHz in Region 3 should be included in the proposal. An ad-hoc gathering of delegates from China, IARU, Iran, Israel, Korea and the Russian Federation swiftly edited the proposal ready for submission early next week.<\/p>\n Unfortunately in order to progress the 50 MHz proposal, it was necessary to withdraw the proposal for harmonisation of 1.8-2 MHz. However it was suggested that it could be considered for the 2023 conference.<\/p>\n Agenda Item 1.18 (77 GHz):<\/strong> The \u00a0proposal received its final reading and approval adding the following footnote to the Radio Regulations –<\/p>\n 5.A118 The use of the frequency band 77.5-78 GHz by the radiolocation service shall be limited to short-range radar for ground-based applications, including automotive radars. The technical characteristics of these radars are provided in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU R M.2057. The provisions of No. 4.10 do not apply. (WRC 15)<\/span><\/p>\n Agenda item 1.12 (10 GHz):<\/strong> This is still ongoing with three options for wider frequency usage by earth monitoring satellites, including one of No Change (NOC) on the table.<\/p>\n Other Future Items:\u00a0<\/strong>Meanwhile we continue to monitor the bid by industry to grab more amateur spectrum for 5G technology at 10 and 47 GHz, and spectrum at 5 GHz for Wireless LANS (Wireless Access Systems).<\/p>\n 73
