RESTRUCTURING: CLOSURE OF TV CHANNEL 1 AND ZL ACCESS TO 6
METERS UPDATE
Changes will be coming to the 6 meter band down-under, but
not as quickly as some hams in New Zealand had hoped for.
Amateur Radio Newsline's Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF, reports:
--
Amateurs across New Zealand may have to wait a bit longer to
get full access to the 6 meter band. As previously
reported, 50 to 51 MHz down-under is to be returned to
amateur radio once all Channel 1 television has ceased using
the spectrum and the current management right for this band
expires.
What may not be known by some hams is that the last New
Zealand channel 1 television transmitter is not due to close
down until November 2013. After that, the management right
under which it operates does not expire until August 2015.
Because of this, the New Zealand national amateur radio
society, NZART, is working with the nations Radio Spectrum
Management on arrangements for the period between when all
the Channel 1 transmitters are turned off and their
management right expires. In the meantime any New Zealand
amateur in an area where TV channel 1 is no longer operating
can apply for a permit to operate on the band.
For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Jim Meachen, ZL2BHF,
down-under in Nelson, New Zealand

As we go to air, not exact date when all New Zealand hams
will have 6 meter access is known. (NZART)
