"The conference will also consider a secondary allocation to the amateur service of 135.7-137.8 kHz. The Amateur Service currently has no frequency allocations lower than 1.8 MHz. With today's widespread use of digital technology, Sumner said, amateurs can now make use of weaker signals than ever before. "This opens a window of opportunity for amateurs to conduct technical investigations in the low-frequency range." More than 20 governments have already allowed individuals, most of them Amateur Radio operators, to experiment on frequencies between 73 and 200 kHz; 15 European governments allow amateur operations on 135.7-137.8 kHz. There is considerable support for this allocation in proposals from a large number of administrations.
Planning for WRC-11
Four items are on the IARU "wish list" of agenda items for consideration at the next WRC, possibly in 2011:
• In IARU Region 1 (Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Africa), allocate 50-54 MHz (6 meters), as is already done in Region 2 and Region 3. The United States is a member of Region 2.
• Allocate 495-510 kHz to the Amateur Service on either a primary or secondary basis. This will permit the development of reliable groundwave systems for disaster relief and provide a spectrum for experimentation with digital signal processing.
• Continue to allow amateurs access to frequencies at regular intervals above 275 GHz, keeping in mind allocations and protections to other services. The IARU suggests providing specific allocations to the Amateur Service, as established at WARC-79, of "relatively narrow, primary bands adjacent to wider, secondary bands."
• If the ITU Member States decide to review HF allocations at WRC-11, the IARU asks for consideration of expansion of the amateur bands near 10, 14 and 18 MHz in order to better accommodate increased activity. Sumner notes that consideration of HF issues at WRC-11 is by no means certain."
