ARLA/CLUSTER: Discussão na Austrália sobre a implementação da nova banda dos 60m

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

No 60m operation possible in VK

While the Amateur Service gained a new band at 5 MHz at the World
Radiocommunication Conference last November, it won’t be available in
Australia and many other countries for quite a while.

The *Wireless Institute of Australia* notes that a number of land-mobile
and defence licensees have long had primary status in the 5 MHz band.

The *Australian Communications and Media Authority* is aware of the
decision made by WRC-15 at Geneva, and expects future discussion on it with
the WIA.

Until the ACMA agrees through the Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan
or the Licence Condition Determination, no VK radio amateur is allowed to
use those frequencies.

There is now only limited access to spot frequencies on 5 MHz by WICEN
(emergency communications) and the Amateur Radio New South Wales broadcast,
but these are under their land-mobile licences and callsigns.

So despite a decision being made at WRC-15, and access possible in some
countries to radio amateurs under their domestic rules, no such decision
has been made in Australia.

Transmitting by radio amateurs in Australia on 5 MHz is illegal, until the
ACMA gives its approval, which may take many years.
