 SARL presentation to WRC15 work group

Last week, the South African Radio League (SARL) attended the
Department of Telecommunication and Postal Services industry WRC15
preparatory work group.

Hans van de Groenendaal, ZS6AKV presented the position that the SARL
believes South Africa should take on the agenda item 1.4 which calls
for a permanent allocation on 5 MHz.

The SARL presentation highlighted the advantages such an allocation
would have for better supporting emergency and disaster communication
as the propagation characteristics are very different from the 40 and
80 metre bands. The paper also highlighted the propagation research
the SARL and its members are currently carrying out.

The SARL also monitored other agenda items that could affect amateur
radio. A full report will be available soon and posted on the SARL
web.
