Dave Sumner asked me to forward this to the ODV reflector. 73, Mark K1RO _______ Greetings from Heathrow, where I am logged on via wireless LAN in between flights. The US proposals for agenda items 1.23 and 1.36 have just been published. Here they are. I am sending both because they are related to one another. Also related is another proposal, which I am not sending at this time, to suppress the HF agenda item at WRC-07 on the grounds that WRC-03 is competent to deal with the HF BC expansion issue. That is not a popular stance with other administrations. The 1.23 proposal is modeled on the European Common Proposal but makes the shared allocation at 7200-7300 kHz worldwide and limits the impact on fixed/mobile in Region 2. It is not as good as an exclusive allocation, but it's a lot better than the status quo and is not that different from, for example, 3750-4000 kHz which we also share on a similar basis. The key factor is that broadcasting would be removed. Of course, it remains to be seen what the conference will do. 73, Dave K1ZZ
