The WIA is asking for your input to assist in delivering a “cohesive” view of the amateur community’s preference for access to the 60M (5MHz) band.
The outcomes of this poll will be delivered to the AMCA in the WIA’s response to the recently announced Public Consultation Paper on Amateur Access to the 5MHZ band.
On the 7th May, 2020 the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) released a long awaited public consultation paper entitled “Possible use of the 5351.5-5366.5kHz band by the amateur service”.
The WIA is delighted that the ACMA has released this consultation paper to determine the community appetite for better alignment of the 60M band with international use and is seeking the opinions of those in the community to ensure that the WIA’s recommendation to the ACMA is aligned with the desires of our members and other Australian operators.
The consultation process closes on the 19th of June, 2020.
The WIA would like to thank the ACMA for its response to the WIA’s call for longer consultation periods to allow the WIA to undertake consultations with the Australian amateur community.
The ACMA has presented four options for the integration of the amateur service into the 60M band. Of these, the first three provide a mechanism for achieving this.
A link to the poll will be emailed to members and others who have registered to participate in WIA Polls.
Members who do not receive details are encouraged to contact the national office to update there email address.
