ARLA/CLUSTER: Representantes dos radioamadores junto da ITU

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Amateur Radio Representation in ITU

The following statement has been released by IARU globally:

IARU has participated in ITU conferences since 1927 and has been a
sector member of ITU since 1932, playing an active role in the work of
the ITU radiocommunication and development sectors.

It can claim a number of achievements, including the introduction of
the 10, 18, 21 and 24 MHz bands, the creation of the amateur satellite
service and introduction of a number of new bands from LF to the
millimetre waves along with the restoration of 7100-7200 kHz in
Regions 1 and 3.

IARU is now pleased to record that another organisation will be
joining the voice for amateur radio in ITU. EURAO has been accepted as
a sector member of ITU at the recent meeting of the ITU Council.

IARU welcomes EURAO to ITU membership and hopes to work closely with
its representatives in ITU Study Groups and Working Parties to present
the arguments for amateur and amateur-satellite service spectrum.
IARU believes that a strong degree of co-operation between our two
organisations into the future will be in the best interests of the
amateur service and is committed to working to make that happen.
