RESTRUCTURING: A LOOK AT THE UPCOMING WRC 2015
A proposed permanent secondary allocation to the amateur
service at or near 5 MHz is among agenda items for the World
Radiocommunication Conference in 2015. Amateur Radio
Newsline's Norm Seeley, KI7UP, has the details:
--
There are numerous items on the 2015 World
Radiocommunications meeting agenda, as spelled out at the
end of the recently concluded 2012 conference. One is the
proposal for a possible new allocation to the amateur
service on a secondary basis within the band 5.250 to 5.450
MHz. The International Amateur Radio Union has described
such an allocation as being among the best for hams to use
to provide around the clock emergency communications. So
far, little in the way of objections has been heard in
public.
According to the publication Radio World, it is the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration that
coordinates United States participation in the WRC
conferences, doing so though a number of government
departments and agencies are involved. According to N-T-I-A's
website, the next conference will consider spectrum requirements
for uses ranging from mobile service allocations for broadband
to controlling unmanned aircraft from space.
These conferences are held by the International
Telecommunication Union every few years to talk about
international radio regulations. An FCC advisory group will
start to meet this month in preparation for the next one.
The commission also has set up a website with information
about WRC-15. While WRC-15 may seem far away, the planning
for it is already getting underway.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm norm Seeley, KI7UP, in
Scottsdale, Arizona.

Another item of interest on the WRC 15 agenda is the
feasibility of achieving a continuous reference time-scale.
This either by the modification of coordinated universal
time or some other method. (RW)
