Ham radio bands under threat

Colin Thomas G3PSM reports from WRC-15 that industry is attempting to grab more amateur radio spectrum for 5G technology at 10 and 47 GHz

The 47 GHz band is a primary allocation for both the Amateur and Amateur Satellite Services.

Agenda Item 1.18, concerning the Primary Amateur and Amateur Satellite Service allocation at 77.5-78.0 GHz, has received its final reading and approval adding the following footnote to the Radio Regulations –

5.A118 The use of the frequency band 77.5-78 GHz by the radiolocation service shall be limited to short-range radar for ground-based applications, including automotive radars. The technical characteristics of these radars are provided in the most recent version of Recommendation ITU R M.2057. The provisions of No. 4.10 do not apply. (WRC 15)
