Regulatory Procedures and WARC-79 John J. Kelleher [electronic resource] /

English

There are two major elements of a General World Administrative Radio Conference such as WARC-79. One is to review and revise allocations of radio frequencies to functional services such as fixed, mobile, satellite, and radionavigation. The other major element is the detailed radio regulations concerning use of these allocations by member Administrations. These regulations combine technical, economic, geopolitical, and other considerations into a framework which attempts to satisfy the perceived requirements of all Administrations. This aspect of WARC-79 is the subject of this paper. As will be seen, some substantial changes in regulations were made at the Conference, especially those concerning HF assignments and use. Other changes are implicit in the Resolutions for future conferences which were adopted at WARC-79. The key to success in framing effective and acceptable allocations, and regulations, is cooperation. In this respect, WARC-79 was not much different from preceding conferences, despite contrary misgivings.
