 WRC-15 – Day-3

November 5, 2015

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.

Discussions have also started in Working Group 6B regarding future
agenda items for WRC-19, including the CEPT proposals for global
harmonisation at 1.8-2.0 MHz and 50-54 MHz. An Arab Group group
proposal for a secondary amateur service allocation at 50 MHz is also
included. At this early stage there have been no objections to the
amateur service proposals, apart from the Russian regional group (RCC)
regarding the 1.8-2 MHz proposal. Further discussions on these items
will take place within an Ad-Hoc working group.

Despite early indications, Agenda Item 1.18 (77 GHz) discussions
continue. While agreement has been reached to give the radiolocation
service co-primary status with the amateur services between 77.5-78
GHz, there is no agreement on whether this should include low power
devices other than those used for vehicle anti-collision radars.
