ARLA/CLUSTER: Pedido de utilização massiva dos 50 MHz no dia 13 Junho 2019 das 07:30 - 09:00 UTC e 11:00 - 12:30 UTC

50 MHz activity needed - 13 June 2019

This year the ITU World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) starts
on 28 October and will last four weeks.

An important agenda item for the amateur service is for the WRC to
consider the consolidation and extension of 50 MHz in Region 1
(Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asiatic Russia).

One of the national telecoms administrations, which are actively
supporting the proposal, is the Czech Republic; unfortunately some
other administrations are actively opposed.

To gather solid evidence of the high level of amateur activity on the
band, and at the same time to demonstrate that amateurs can co-exist
with other band users including the military, IARU is supporting a
monitoring trial in the middle of June.

The event is being run by the Czech national radio society, in
conjunction with their regulator. It is part activity period and part
contest.

Government and professional users will be monitoring (and some will be
transmitting as well) so it is important that we make a good showing.
Remember, by the way, that if you do hear any non-amateur stations you
must make sure you do NOT cause them any interference.

Full details can be found on the iaru-r1.org website.

Date and times are Thursday 13 June 2019 07:30 - 09:00 UTC and 11:00 - 12:30 UTC

There needs to be as much activity as possible on the band during
these two periods, preferably sticking to the Czech power limit of 25
W ERP.
It doesn't matter whether the band is open or not, just get on the air
using SSB, CW, Digital, or all three.
It is not essential that you should submit an entry for the contest
although that would be appreciated, but IARU would definitely like as
many logs as possible (contest or non-contest) to be sent in by 15
June, to provide solid evidence that can be used in pre-WRC planning.
