 Nigeria: Amateur radio draft authorisation framework

The Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) has made announcements on
opening up 60 GHz and an Amateur Radio Services draft authorisation
framework

The Vangard newspaper reports the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC)
says it in the process of opening up a 60 GHz Band, also known as the
V-band, for the deployment of Amateur Radio Services. They say:









*"The NCC Executive Vice-Chairman, Prof. Umar Danbatta, made this known on
Tuesday at a stakeholders’ consultative forum in Lagos.""He said that the
commission sought active participation of stakeholders toward the framework
being put in place to regulate the 60 GHz V-band for the development of
Amateur Radio Services.""He said that the commission was also using the
seminar as an opportunity to present draft authorisation framework for the
use of Amateur Radio Services in Nigeria.""The framework, according to him,
was intended to provide a clear and comprehensive outline for amateur radio
operations in Nigeria. He said: “Like-minded users of amateur radio build a
community of amateur users to exchange personal, cultural and technical
information. “It is good for technical investigations and wireless
experimentation.’’""Also at the forum, Mr Austin Nwaulune, the Director,
Spectrum Administration in NCC, said that amateur radio was a popular
hobby."*

It appears that 60 GHz and amateur radio framework announcements may have
inadvertently become combined in the report.

The draft document is available on the NCC website, it says holders must be
at least 18 years old, a surprising restriction since there are no age
limits in other countries such as UK and USA.There will be three license
classes:
- Novice, with access to one HF band and one VHF/UHF band (bands not
specified)
- General
- Advanced
