Ham radio 5 MHz band in ACMA consultation draft

*Roger Harrison VK2ZRH* from the WIA's Spectrum Strategy Committee reports
on the spectrum management plan that has been published by the regulator
ACMA

The WIA news story says:

Earlier this week, the Australian Communications and Media Authority
released a document setting out the work that it plans to do in spectrum
management from 2019 to 2023.

Called the "Five-year spectrum outlook 2019-23", the 71-page document is
what the Authority calls a consultation draft. That is, they are calling
for all interested stakeholders to comment on any and every aspect of
interest to them.

Naturally, that includes the WIA, on behalf of members and the radio
amateur community in general, which includes both licensed amateurs and
prospective licensees.

Of particular interest - at the top of many amateurs' wish lists - is work
to progress access to the sixty metre band at 5.3 MHz, allocated world-wide
to licensed amateurs at the 2015 World Radio Conference.

The ACMA notes that the band is included in the Australian Radiofrequency
Spectrum Plan, but there is opposition to the allocation from Defence due
to potential interference. However, the ACMA intends to publish a
discussion paper in the third quarter of 2019-2020 seeking view on
implementation issues.

Under the title of licensing and licensing systems, the ACMA says that,
over 2019-2020, it will seek the inclusion of amateur qualifications in the
Australian Qualifications Framework to enable more education and training
bodies to provide amateur training and qualifications. Sure to be of wide
interest in many quarters. There will be public consultation, says the ACMA.

Of direct interest to ALL amateurs and prospective amateurs is the ACMA's
intention to commence consultation on potential changes to licence
conditions on the fourth quarter of 2018-2019 - coming up real soon, now,
and maybe further consultation in the first quarter of 2019-2020.

A few other topics of some interest are also covered in the ACMA's work
plan, which I will get to in a later broadcast when I expand on the topics
raised here.

The website link to the ACMA's consultation paper can be found in a
separate announcement in WIA News on the WIA website at
