ACMA Announces High Power Trial Assessment

ACMA announces assessment of the use of higher transmitter output power by amateur advanced licensees. The ACMA recently met with the WIA to advise how it is going to assess the trial of the use of higher transmitter output power by advanced licensees, commencingearly in 2013.

The ACMA’s assessment process will begin with desk-based audits to assess licensees’ compliance with their electromagnetic energy (EME) obligations. Advanced licensees authorised to use higher power are to be contacted by mail from the start of February 2013 and asked to provide relevant documentation. This may be followed up with an on-site audit by the ACMA .

Further information about the audit - including a supporting FAQ - and broader assessment of the trial will be available on the ACMA website early in 2013. More information on EME (EMR) licence requirements, including assessment tools, can be found by following these links:
