HFCC News.
The B07 HFCC Conference will be held in Birmingham, England, August 27-31,
2007. It is being hosted by Christian Vision, assisted by FEBA and NASB
member FEBC. More information is available on the HFCC website,
NASB Vice President Mike Adams on FEBC will be our official representative
at the conference, although other NASB members will also be participating.
The HFCC-ASBU Steering Board, meeting in Prague on May 18, agreed that the
A meeting each year (normally held in February) should be a joint meeting
with the ABU-HFC (i.e. the Asia-Pacific coordination group). Because of
travel distances and the costs of costs of traveling such distances, the
HFCC SB feels the venue should alternate between the ABU-HFC region and
the HFCC-ASBU region. No host or location has been chosen yet for the A08
meeting, but the likely dates are February 4-8, 2008.
A review of HFCC membership fees is urgent to cover income vs. expenditure
shortfalls. Options will be presented at the plenary meeting at the B07
HFCC Conference in Birmingham.
NEXUS-IBA, Italy has applied for HFCC membership. They will be invited to
attend as observers at the Birmingham conference in August.
The HFCC is now a Sector Member of the International Telecommunication
Union radio sector (ITU-R), so it can attend ITU-R meetings. The SB agreed
that the HFCC should take up this opportunity, especially at WRC07, which
is very important to the broadcasting service. The WRC07 will take place
in Geneva, Switzerland from October 22 to November 17.
The possibility of regular DRM transmissions on the 26 MHz band was
discussed at the recent HFCC Steering Board meeting. This raises various
regulatory questions, such as should they be coordinated on an
international level or just a national level. There is also the question
of how to protect international broadcasts on the 26 MHz band from local
DRM broadcasts. It was proposed to divide the band into two portions
permitting long distance international services into one segment and local
services in the other segment of this band. National and regional
administrations will need to be consulted on this.
The Steering Board agreed that non-members' broadcast schedule
requirements should be included in the HFCC database, but those non-
members will not have access to the private portion of the HFCC website.
The NASB has been acting informally as a liaison between the HFCC and
various Latin American shortwave stations for a number of years now to
submit their frequency requirements to the HFCC, and we have recently been
contacted by two additional stations in Colombia which would like to be
included in future HFCC databases.
An issue was raised by Radio Canada International about the Canadian time-
signal station CHU on 7335 kHz, which has had some recent interference
issues with broadcasting stations. The HFCC Steering Board believed that
this requirement should not be included in the HFCC database, but
information about the transmission will be provided to HFCC members
outside the database. Such fixed service transmissions can continue to
operate in the 7300-7350 kHz range as long as they don't interfere with
broadcast stations.
