Radio Spectrum

ComReg’s 2008 – 2010 Spectrum Management Strategy for the Amateur Radio is to:

• Implement a once-off, life-time fee structure for Amateur Radio;
  
• Update the current guideline documents to include general access to the 70 MHz band, access to spot frequencies in the 5 MHz band and upgrading of the amateur allocation in the 7100 – 7200 kHz band to primary status. 
  
• Facilitate the short term authorisation of visiting experimenters to Ireland;
  
• Modify the format of repeater station callsigns in Ireland in order to differentiate these from personal callsigns;
  
• Consider the allocation of spectrum around 500 kHz on the basis of a common European position.
