500 kHz - WRC-12 Agenda Item 1.23 latest

On the IARU Region 1 website Colin Thomas, G3PSM, reports on progress
in Mainz towards an Amateur Radio allocation in the vicinity of 500
kHz.

WRC12 Agenda Item 1.23 says "To consider an allocation of about 15 kHz
in parts of the band 415-526.5 kHz to the amateur service on a
secondary basis, taking into account the need to protect existing
services;"

The CEPT Conference Preparatory Group Project Team C
(CPG PT C) meeting took place in Mainz, Germany and Colin Thomas,
G3PSM, reports:

At its meeting between 26 and 29 September, 2011 the CEPT project team
approved a draft ECP for an 8kHz-wide band between 472 and 480kHz.

This draft ECP now goes to CEPT’s Conference Preparatory Group for
formal ratification in November. This breakthrough, at the 11th and
final meeting of the project team, occurred with the submission by the
UK's Ofcom of an RSGB-drafted compromise ECP proposal supported by
France and Sweden. But the prospect of an agreed CEPT position is good
progress, representing a 48 country block vote going into next year’s
WRC-12. It needs to be noted that the draft ECP comes with significant
caveats to avoid interference to the primary user, as well as the
existing secondary user services. These are the maritime and
aeronautical radionavigation services respectively. As secondary users
we would also not be afforded any protection. It should be
acknowledged that we have had support from a number of Region 1
national societies in getting to this position.

John Gould G3WKL represents RSGB on the UK delegation with Ulrich
Mueller DK4VW from the DARC on the German delegation. The CEPT
Co-ordinator for this agenda item is Colin Thomas, G3PSM.
