That led to a recommendation being adopted within Region 1 for a Working Group to be set up to investigate, and report on, propagation and new amateur communication technologies in the region of 500kHz. From there on, a slow but gradual process brought on board a growing number of countries involved in the negotiations at both national and international levels; through Regional Telecommunications Organisations and then at the International Telecommunications Union level.<\/p>\n<p>A similar story is developing for 5MHz. The first reading of the Draft Agenda for WRC-15 was approved. This draft agenda includes item 1.4, which proposes an amateur service proposal for a secondary allocation around 5.3MHz.
