Ierland nieuwe amateurbanden 30-49 en 54-69.9MHz

#1 Bericht door PE9PE »

Additional frequencies for Ireland

In December 2015 ComReg (Ireland's regulator) published a Draft Radio spectrum Management Strategy 2016-2018. The Society responded with a comprehensive submission to this draft and a summary of this was published in the March 2016 edition of Echo Ireland.

In June 2016 ComReg published its final Radio Spectrum Management Strategy 2016-2018 and indicated its intention to grant some additional spectrum to the amateur service. This has now been done and is in line with some of the requests made in the Society’s submission.

The 70 MHz band has been extended to 69.9 MHz to 70.5 MHz. This is an increase of 275kHz over the existing band of 70.125 to 70.450 MHz and is the full band that may be allocated to the amateur service under the European Common Allocations table.

Further spectrum covering all modes including digimodes has been granted on a secondary basis at 30 to 49 MHz and 54 to 69.9 MHz. The latter band also includes digital television in addition to all other modes. These new frequency bands are listed among the bands available generally to radio amateurs in Annex 1 of a recently revised version of the Amateur Station Licence Guidelines document ComReg 09/45 R4 which is available on the ComReg website.

The new bands in the 40 MHz and 60 MHz regions will, among other things, facilitate modern type beacons in the region of these frequencies as well as moving the existing 70MHz beacon on 70.130 MHz to the section of the band designated for beacons.

IRTS (Irish Radio Transmitters Society) will be producing a local band plan for these two bands in consultation with countries that have allocations at these frequencies and IARU.

The Society would like to express its appreciation to ComReg for the release of this extensive spectrum to the amateur service on a secondary basis.

Dat is mooi voor de Ieren,
als dat in de toekomst misschien voor heel IARU R1 zou lukken zou dat heel mooi zijn.
Het geeft wel aan in welk gedeelte van het spectrum mogelijkheden zijn.
Ham radio, the only fail safe communication system in the world!

Aanvullingen op deze uitbreidingen in Ierland:

Ham radio regulatory changes in Eire

ComReg's massive allocation of low-band VHF spectrum to radio amateurs in Eire is most welcome and sets an example to other regulators but other aspects of the regulations raise questions

The low-band VHF allocations are now:
30.0-49.0 MHz 50 watts
50.0-52.0 MHz 100 watts
54.0-69.9 MHz 50 watts
69.9-70.5 MHz 50 watts

The national amateur radio society, IRTS, are to be congratulated on achieving amateur access to so much spectrum.

The ComReg document as written appears to mean amateur satellite operation is not permitted in these ITU Amateur-Satellite Service allocations:
435-438 MHz
1260-1270 MHz
5650-5670 MHz
5830-5850 MHz

Oddly satellite operation is permitted in 430-432 MHz but there are no amateur satellites there!

Transmitting to amateur satellites operating in 2400-2450 MHz is only allowed with a Special Permit, it's not included as standard in the licence. Even with the Permit amateurs will be restricted to a transmitter output of just 25 watts.

Unusually for an official document ComReg seem to use "AMSAT" as an abbreviation for the ITU Amateur-Satellite Service, however, they fail to define exactly what they intend it to mean. AMSAT is a registered trademark of a USA Corporation, see
https://www.amsat.org/notification-of-t ... formation/

ComReg limit which modes that can be used in each band by listing three-character ITU Emission Designators. For example X7F is among those permitted for the 54.0-69.9 MHz band and means Digital Amateur TV (e.g. DVB-S) can be used. Unfortunately it appears to be the only band where X7F is permitted, an unnecessary restriction.

The Emission Designators for digital voice modes such as D-STAR and DMR don't appear to be listed anywhere suggesting they cannot be used.

In 2006 the UK regulator Ofcom adopted a Technology Neutral approach to amateur radio, they scrapped listing of specific Emission Designators and allowed all modes to be used. It is unfortunate ComReg hasn't taken this opportunity to do the same.

Na dit bericht nu de eerste uitwerking van deze VHF uitbreiding.

Interessant is dat enkele andere landen beschreven worden met toestemmingen op 40MHz.
