World Radiocommunication Conference

The next World Radiocommunication Conference
(WRC-11) is scheduled for 2011.

These periodic conferences of the Member States of the International Telecommunication Union consider allocations to the various radio services, including the Amateur Radio Service and evaluate what new technologies and
applications should be addressed by future conferences.

The agenda for WRC-11, developed by the delegates at the last WRC in Geneva in 2007 has 25 agenda items addressing potential new or revised spectrum allocations to existing services.

Of most interest to radio amateurs is agenda item 1.23, "to consider an allocation of about 15 kHz in parts of the band 415-526.5 kHz to the amateur service on a secondary basis."

WRC-11 is tentatively scheduled for October 24-November 18, 2011, in Geneva.
