Background
The 2015 World Radio Conference (WRC-15) allocated a portion of the 5 MHz band to the Amateur Service on a secondary basis. In Australia, the high frequency (HF) band 5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz (15 kHz) was declared as a secondary allocation for the amateur service within the 2017 Australian Radio Frequency Spectrum Plan.
The WIA Spectrum Strategy Committe has written a detailed submission on the implementation of the band within the Amateur Service Licence Condition Determination.
Summary
Reviewing the options proposed by the authority, the WIA proposes that the ACMA’s second option outlined in their consultation paper be the model used to permit the introduction of the Amateur Service into this part of the radio spectrum.
The WIA view is that option 2 delivers the maximum benefit of this segment of the radio spectrum to the Australian people while not disadvantaging existing primary spectrum users.
This view is supported by stakeholders comprising WIA members and interested non-members who were polled to gain an understanding of their preferred arrangements for accessing the band.
The WIA also offers a framework on which to shape the final technical aspects of implementing access to this band within the Amateur Licence Conditions Determination.

The WIA thanks the members of the Spectrum Strategy Committee who volunteer there time to preparing this submission for the benefit of all amateurs.
