IARU: WRC-19 Grinds On - Week 3

The IARU has issued its report on Week 3 of the *2019 World
Radiocommunication Conference* being held in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt from
October 28 to November 22, 2019

With just 3-1/2 days left for substantive work – the final session of the
Plenary to approve texts to be included in the Final Acts is scheduled to
end at noon Thursday, November 21 – delegates at WRC-19 face a daunting
workload as the conferees try to reach consensus on several remaining
issues including the agenda for the next WRC.

Future agenda items: As of now, no choices have been made as to which of
more than three dozen proposed topics will be placed on the WRC-23 agenda.
Each of the proposed agenda items would require studies to be conducted in
the 2020-2023 timeframe, but ITU resources will not accommodate more than
about half. Some face strong opposition and others remain ill-defined even
at this late stage of the conference. The responsible committee is
scheduled to complete its work in just one more day. It will be a long day.

Short Duration Satellites: There is still no agreement on how to protect
existing services and uses of the uplink frequency band proposed for
telemetry, tracking and command of these “simple� satellites.

5725-5850 MHz: This part of the amateur secondary allocation, which
includes an amateur-satellite downlink at 5830-5850 MHz, is the subject of
an unresolved conflict over parameters for wireless access systems
including radio local area networks.

Frequencies above 275 GHz: This upper frequency range is not allocated but
several bands are identified for passive (receive-only) use and
administrations are encouraged to protect them from harmful interference.
With that in mind, WRC-19 has identified other bands above 275 GHz for the
implementation of land mobile and fixed service applications. The use of
these bands for applications in other services, including amateur
experimentation, is not precluded.

50 MHz in Region 1: The compromise agreement reported last week (see the
IARU news release dated 10 November) survived review at the Working Group
and Committee levels and awaits approval in Plenary.

With the 50 MHz issue essentially settled the IARU team is devoting most of
its energy to explaining why the proposed agenda item for 1240-1300 MHz
described in last week’s release is unnecessary and undesirable.

While IARU President *Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA*, left the conference at the
end of the second week he is still a visible presence as a six-minute video
interview is replayed on monitors scattered around the halls of the
conference center.
