It comments that there is no spectrum available in the 4-5 MHz bands for
International Broadcasting.
The leaflet also points out that some broadcasters already operate outside
the Broadcast Bands defined by the ITU. They say this affects an estimated
330 kHz of spectrum outside of the broadcast bands between 4 and 10 MHz.
High Frequency Co-ordination Conference
World Radiocommunication Conference 2007 (WRC-07)
(Southgate, via Mike Terry-UK, BrDXC-UK Nov 2)
ERO report on first week of WRC-07:
Agenda Item 1.13:
"taking into account Resolutions 729 (WRC‑97), 351 (WRC‑03)
and 544 (WRC‑03), to review the allocations to all services in the
HF bands between 4 MHz and 10 MHz, excluding those allocations to services
in the frequency range 7 000-7 200 kHz and those bands whose allotment
plans are in Appendices 25, 26 and 27 and whose channeling arrangements
are in Appendix 17, taking account of the impact of new modulation
techniques, adaptive control techniques and the spectrum requirements for
HF broadcasting"
The discussion on this agenda item started as expected. As CEPT is the
only regional organisation, who has other proposals than NOC, every word
said by CEPT is on the 'goldscale'. It is sometimes amusing to see that
during discussion on elements of the AI, such as Resolution 729, every
proposal made by CEPT is brought in connection to a possible modification
of Art. 5, whilst Resolution 729 is in no way related to Art. 5.
In the sub working group dealing with 1.13 firstly a first confrontation
took place with the rest of the world. And this was on the order how the
elements of the AI should be discussed only. We could agree that the fist
item to start was Resolution 729 but so far no agreement was reached
whether first Resolution 351 or Resolution 544, combined with the review
of the bands 4-10 MHz should be handled first. As said almost the whole
world is in disagreement with the CEPT proposals for AI 1.13 especially
related to the additional spectrum for broadcasting and all type of quasi
technical arguments are used to stop us.
Coming week the real 'fights' will start on this issue and we will see
where we are at the end of next week. That it will not be easy is perhaps
too simple statement.
