ARLA/CLUSTER: Argentina ganha finalmente acesso à banda dos 60m (5 MHz)

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Argentina latest to get 5 MHz band

The IARU member society the *Radio Club Argentino* (RCA) is the latest to
get access to the 60m band for its radio amateurs, ahead of the issue being
decided next November by the World Radio Conference.

The RCA in its newsletter on November 10, said that the release of the band
in Argentina followed it raising the issue to authorities.

Earlier the Inter-American Telecommunications Commission (CITEL) held in
Merida, Mexico last month, and it included discussion on the matter.

At that meeting, the Ministry of Communications delegation from Argentina
supported the allocation on a secondary basis, in continuous segment of
5275-5450 kHz.

The RCA says the initiative won sufficient support from CITEL delegates to
be adopted as the regional position.

The band was first introduced in 2002, and ever since many countries have
released it temporarily to their radio amateurs with various 'spot'
frequencies or a wider multi-channelled allocation.

Some countries are mindful of other occupiers of the spectrum, either
resulting in their guarded responses or trialling a sharing arrangement on
that band.

The IARU supports such an allocation because it sits between the 80m and
40m bands, to provide useful propagation for local to medium distances,
often needed for emergency communication training and events.

The IARU has encouraged member societies to test out those propagation
benefits and further show that a secondary allocation sharing basis is
viable.

The band is agenda item 1.4 proposed by Cuba at the World Conference Radio
Geneva, Switzerland next year.
