RASA (Radio Amateur Society of Australia) has initiated a review of the Australian 30m band plan.

Australia is one of the only countries that permits SSB operation on 30m.

The existing band plan has SSB operation between 10125-10135 kHz, whilst digital uses 10130-10150 kHz.

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.

The next meeting of the CEPT WRC-19 Conference Preparatory Group takes place 17-21 June in Prague

France has submitted a paper with the subject Agenda Item 10 revised proposal for an agenda item for new non-safety aeronautical mobile applications.
