The CEPT Conference Preparatory Group
met this week in Ankara, Turkey. Items of interest to the amateur
service which were finalised were:
- Agreement to a European Common
Proposal (ECP) on allocating 50-52 MHz to the amateur service in Region 1
on a secondary basis with a footnote listing those countries where the
amateur service will have a primary allocation in the band 50-50.5 MHz
(WRC Agenda Item 1.1)
- Agreement to an ECP on spectrum to
be considered for International Mobile Telecommunications, which does
not now include the primary amateur band at 47-47.2 GHz (WRC Agenda Item
1.13)
- Agreement to an ECP that retains the
current regulatory position in the 5725-5850 MHz frequency band which
includes secondary allocations to the amateur service and the
amateur-satellite service (WRC Agenda Item 1.16)
- Removal of 144-146 MHz from a French
proposal for study of additional spectrum for aeronautical
applications. (WRC Agenda Item 10)
