40m Band Plan Harmonisation

40m Band Plan Harmonisation – WIA next steps

Following the 40m band plan harmonisation consultation conducted by the WIA, discussions have taken place with the IARU Region 3 HF Band Plan committee (HFBPC) over the WIA findings. The IARU Region 3 sub-committee has now taken into consideration the work of the WIA and has decided that it would be beneficial to all if the Region 3 sub-committee deliver the paper directly into the IARU Region 3 conference to be held in Thailand in November. This approach was proposed so that all member societies can engage in discussion on the proposals freely at the conference, including the WIA, based on whatever local feedback they receive. For the WIA, it means that we will not be directly proposing the changes to the conference, thus giving us more freedom at the conference to act in the best interests of all radio amateurs in Australia.

The WIA therefore invites its members, and interested radio amateurs in Australia, to provide feedback on the IARU Region 3 paper to WIA, which can then be taken forth to the conference. Amateurs in other countries within Region 3 should do likewise through their regional IARU member associations. To see what the IARU Region 3 sub-committee has proposed, you can obtain a copy of their paper from at this Link.

If you are in Australia, please forward your feedback to the secretary@wia.org.au who will collate member input and pass it on to the WIA delegation attending this year’s conference.
