Hi,
Lucky 13! – for the amateur service, as Agenda Item 1.4 (5 MHz) passed the final two readings without any comment whatsoever.
Although the 15kHz that has been agreed at ITU level is a very small international allocation, this is the first new allocation to the amateur services at HF since the WARC of 1979.

WRC-15 Day-7
Hi,
Agenda Item 1.4 (5 MHz): Two steps forward and one step back might be a polite description of progress on Tuesday regarding 5 MHz and the consideration of permitted power. Some administrations are insisting on the use of tight eirp limits.
We have already overrun the schedule allowed for the sub-working group discussions and the real threat of a No Change position exists if we do not reach a consensus. At the moment there are three major administrations resisting any allocation at 5 MHz.
Several administrations allowing amateur activity at 5 MHz have already indicated that their current arrangements will continue under RR 4.4.

Dutch 5MHz QSOs - RSGB Front Page News
Hi,
Several Dutch stations have appeared on the 5MHz band in the erroneous assumption that 5MHz has become available in The Netherlands.
It isn’t, and won’t be until the middle of November at the earliest. The confusion arose in the way the law is applied in The Netherlands.
Following the announcement, the radio amateur frequency tables have to be officially adjusted and published and this has not happened yet.
Until that time, any contacts with Dutch stations on 5MHz are not, in fact, legitimate.

It is confirming what I reported in preview post regarding the PA permits on 60m band so need to wait...

WRC-15 Day-5, End of Week-1
Hi,
Agenda Item 1.4 (5 MHz): Some progress was made during the course of the Friday morning session. The various African organizations agreed to merge their proposal resulting in a proposal of 100 Watts between 5350-5400 kHz which will be considered alongside other proposals.
Unfortunately other administrations are refusing to move from their position for a far smaller allocation or even NoC (No Change). As a consequence the meetings scheduled for Saturday morning have been cancelled pending feedback from various administrations back home.

WRC-15 Day-4
Hi,
Agenda Item 1.4 (5 MHz) continues to occupy the time of the IARU and national society delegates attending.
Intensive debate centred around the amount of spectrum required and power limitations, with a very wide divergence of views – the former ranging from 15 to 100 kHz, the latter between 0.1W and 200 Watts (as well as those who oppose any allocation at all).
Needless to say discussions continue, with weekend working a real possibility.
There has been little progress with other agenda items of interest to the amateur services but we continue to monitor the situation.

It looks like very hard job in Geneve and unfortunatelly we should not expect so much according to the current discussion development...

PA - Neetherland on 60m soon... ?
Hi,
it seems that after some local technical issues the authorization is about two weeks from now:
http://www.agentschaptelecom.nl/actueel/nieuws/2015/5-mhz-band-binnenkort-ook-voor-radiozendamateurs-met-een-f-registratie
The same band allocation 5350 - 5450 kHz as it is proposed for WRC-15 is prepared.
Thanks to Larry, K5RK

WRC-15 Day-3
Hi,
Mainly a day of frustrations for all concerned, but slow progress was made with Agenda Item 1.4 (5 MHz).
The proposal from CITEL, representing a number of American States, was reduced to align with the CEPT proposal for 100 kHz, while the Arab Spectrum Management Group also agreed Group also agreed to increase their proposal from 15 kHz to 50 kHz.
On the negative side, the No Change administrations held fast in their positions and indications are that this will not change in the immediate future.
Tomorrow it might be necessary to raise the agenda item to the next level of Working Group 4 to achieve further progress.
