Jim, the fact that the US supports this method of satisfying Agenda Item (AI) 1.23 has been public information since last September. See http://www.arrl.org/news/united-states-supports-secondary-amateur-radio-allocation-at-461-469-and-471-478-khz. All that’s happened now is that the US has formally submitted the proposal for consideration at the WRC.

This is so-called Method B in the CPM Report (see http://www.arrl.org/news/amateur-mf-allocation-moves-a-step-closer). The IARU would prefer Method A but will be satisfied with any solution that provides an allocation with sufficient bandwidth to be useful.

Dave,

Is the information contained in the AT 1.23 proposal public?  Also is it supported by IARU in general?

Tnx,

Jim

Here is the United States proposal for an amateur secondary allocation of 461-469 kHz and 471-478 kHz. While we knew it was coming, it’s always nice to see it in print as an official ITU conference document.

I don’t know if the reference to 471-487 kHz at the bottom of page 1 is a typo; Brennan may be able to comment. It’s not substantive but I would guess 471-478 kHz was intended.
