ITU meetings in Geneva

 PB2T reports that a team of International Amateur Radio Union
officials attended the Working Party 5A, B and C meetings that took
place in Geneva 20-30 May

IARU Region 1 was represented by Hans Blondeel Timmerman PB2T and
Colin Thomas G3PSM, while DARC was represented by Ulrich Mueller
DK4VW. Working Group 5A-1 chaired by Dale Hughes, VK1DSH completed a
report documenting characteristics of amateur stations at or near 5.3
MHz that will be considered by Study Group 5 at its next meeting in
December.

 The group worked on a Report analyzing compatibility of amateur
operation at 5.3 MHz with existing in-band and adjacent band services,
as required by Resolution 649. More work needs to be done at the
November meeting.

 A revision of the Amateur Handbook was carried out by a sub working
group chaired by Colin Thomas, G3PSM.

Some work was done on the CPM text for WRC-15 Agenda Item 1.4 (to
consider a possible new allocation to the amateur service on a
secondary basis within the band 5 250 - 5 450 kHz).

 IARU presented its position on WRC-15 Agenda Item 1.18 (to consider a
primary allocation to the radiolocation service for automotive
applications in the 77.5 - 78.0 GHz frequency band).

Amateur representatives from other IARU regions included Tim Ellam
VE6SH, Bryan Rawlings VE3QN, Ken Yamamoto JA1CJP and Brennan Price
N4QX.
