Don't get too excited about a quiet 40m.. The radio regs footnote 141C (141B in early drafts) lists a string of countries including most of North Africa & ME, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Korea, Papua New Guinea + others who, after 29 March 2009, have 7100-7200 kHz available to fixed & mobile services on a primary basis. These stations have been moved from adjacent spectrum where the BC stations will now work.
Most international BC stations will move out of 7100-7200 as they will have access to new spectrum over 7300-7450 kHz after 29 March 2009. A pdf of the new Australian Radiofrequency Spectrum Plan can be downloaded from here http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD/pc=PC_2713 Pages 41 & 42 cover the 40m area. I imagine there would be similar documents from US & Canadian regulators as well although the Australian document does shows the general allocations for all three ITU regions. 73 Nigel VK3DZ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Todd Carpenter Sent: Wednesday, 11 March 2009 6:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AMRadio] 40 m SWBC I have been watching this for a few years. 2 years ago I tried to start a campaign to get SWBC stations to move voluntairly. All I got in reply was that their assignments were established by treaty. I would assume that the same applies here and that they will have no choice but to move now.
