New Zealand Association of Radio Transmitters (NZART) announced recently
that negotiations with the regulator RSM were successful in accommodating
60 metre operation for New Zealand radio amateurs. Following the end of t

Op Vrydag middag 14 Mei het die SARL sy reaksie ingedien op die Konsep Toe
rusting Magtigings Regulasies soos gepubliseer deur OKOSA op 30 Maart 2021
.. Die Liga bedank OKOSA vir die publikasie van die konsep regulasies en di
e insluiting van Amateur Radio in die lys van uit sluitings. Maar die Liga
is van mening dat die konsep regulasies nie duidelik is oor wat ingesluit
is in die uit sluiting van die regulasies nie. Die Liga het 'n aantal voo
rstelle gedoen wat verwys na die Frekwensie Spektrum-regulasies en ITU-reg
ulasies 1.56 en 1.57.

AMATEURS IN NIEU-SEELAND HET WEER TOEGANG TOT 60 METER.

Paul Gaskell, G4MWO, die redakteur van die 5 MHz-nuusbrief, berig da
t die Nieu-Zeelandse Vereniging vir Radio senders (NZART) onlangs aangekon
dig het dat onderhandelinge met die reguleerder RSM suksesvol was om 60 me
ter werking vir Nieu-Zeeland radio amateurs te akkommodeer. Na die einde v
an die twee kanaal 60 meter 'proef' in Nieu-Zeeland gedurende 2020, sal
amateurs daar nou toegang hê tot 'n WRC-15 amateur sekondêre to
e wysing van 5 351,5 - 5 366,5 kHz met 'n maksimum toelaatbare krag va
n 15 W EIRP ( ongeveer 9,14 W) deur aansoek te doen vir 'n sub-lisensie.
Hierdie toets periode sal vir 12 maande duur om RSM in staat te stel om t
e bepaal of probleme met steurings ontstaan. As geen ontstaan, sal NZART
met RSM onderhandel om die 60 meterband by die Algemene Gebruikers radio
lisensie te laat voeg, wat in die toekoms 'n behoefte aan 'n sub-lisens
ie uit skakel.
