ARLA/CLUSTER: Regulador australiano não autoriza o uso da banda de 60m pelos radioamadores

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Australian regulator says no to 60m

*Glenn VK4DU*, President of the *Radio Amateur Society of Australia* advises
that national efforts to gain secondary access to the 60m band have been
unsuccessful.

On 7th December 2020, ACMA released their Decision.

“Submissions supporting Option 4, which opposed amateur use of the band,
were received from the Department of Defence and 2 others. Defence’s public
submission did not support an allocation, on the basis that:
… this frequency band is already experiencing spectrum congestion, which
adversely affects critical Defence capabilities. Therefore, Defence cannot
accept further increase of spectrum congestion by the introduction of
Amateur services.

The Department of Defence also provided non-public information to the ACMA
to further support their position.�

“In considering spectrum use, the ACMA considers the objects of the
Radiocommunications Act 1992. This includes maximising the overall public
benefit derived from the use of the radio spectrum and, of particular
importance in this matter given Defence usage, making adequate provision
for use by agencies involved in the defence or national security of
Australia.

"In balancing the existing uses of the 5351.5–5366.5 kHz band against the
impacts of introducing use by the amateur service, the ACMA has decided not
to support amateur use in the band. “

In summary, Defense interests trump secondary access by the Amateur Radio
sector.
