Shortwave coordination to continue with ABU meeting (21-Dec-07) A key conference on global shortwave coordination will be held in Kuala Lumpur on 4-8 February to try to resolve many of the potential interference problems likely to affect shortwave transmissions.
The conference is hosted by United Kingdom-based VT Communications on behalf of the High Frequency Coordination Conference (HFCC), the Arab States Broadcasting Union (ASBU) and the ABU. A completely new database of frequency requirements for the shortwave radio broadcasting season from 30 March to 26 October 2008 will be on the agenda of the Kuala Lumpur conference. During the week-long conference, delegates will try to resolve, by mutual coordination, many of the potential interference problems likely to affect shortwave transmissions in the "A08" joint global broadcasting schedule. Presently, a single global seasonal database of seasonal frequency requirements, compiled by the High Frequency Co-ordination Conference secretariat, assists in the coordination process. Shortwave broadcasting has a unique position in that the radio channels used by international stations are not assigned, but regularly coordinated for two seasons each year. The coordination system is designed for efficient and economical use of the shortwave spectrum and the improvement of reception of shortwave radio broadcasting worldwide.
