rsgb Update on 144MHz and 23cm threats
« on: June 24, 2019, 01:53:41 AM »

for too long the lack of activity on 2m has been ignored by rsgb
the authorities are always scanning the spectrum for activity
or lack of it
this was bound to happen
its all too little too late
we have only ourselves to blame

Update on 144MHz and 23cm threats
rsgb | June 21, 2019
The IARU was represented this week at the meeting of CEPT Project Team A—one of the groups leading WRC-19 preparations—which finished in Prague on Friday, 21 June 2019.

Of particular interest were discussions on two proposed agenda items for WRC-23, concerning the sharing of the 1240-1300MHz band with the Galileo satellite navigation system and the proposal from France to study a range of frequencies, including the 144MHz amateur band, for future primary aeronautical applications.

The meeting considered views that the Galileo issue did not currently warrant a WRC23 agenda item and should be first investigated within CEPT.

However, regarding new aeronautical frequencies including 144MHz, the proposal was unfortunately not strongly opposed by other administrations; this has been carried forward to the higher level CEPT-CPG meeting in August.

The IARU and RSGB views with grave concern any proposal to include the global amateur and amateur satellite 144MHz primary band in the proposed aeronautical agenda item; and will be making every effort to fully protect amateur radio interest and seek the support of regulators in this regard.

More details at iaru-r1.org and on the RSGB’s WRC-19 special focus pages where you can find all the latest meeting documents and minutes.

I would think this could hurt during a national disaster way to go fcc glad you’re thinking of your pockets and no one else.  >:( I hope this doesn’t happen I’m just starting to get back into ham radio more all I have is two mobile and a hand held 2/70. FCC with be screwing a lot of people because their 2meter radios will be nothing but a paper weight.

This is just a proposal.  The next ITU allocations conference is in 2023, so nothing will happen until then, if ever.  The problem is that aircraft communications need a world-wide allocation, and the only one on VHF is 144-146 MHz.

Everyone assumes we are under threat in the US because the proposal states it's for "aeronautical" applications, beaning manned aircraft.  What no one seems to notice is that the proposal is being pushed by a French company that wants the spectrum for unmanned air vehicle (drone) operations. 

I really doubt they're going to be flying drones across the entire Atlantic Ocean...

Well the French can go find another frequency in my opinion. Leave the ham bands alone period!
