Hi all,
Is there anyone here up with the play on VK HFers applying to
increase the output power to 1000 watts ?
ZL is in a similar position but I don't know the state of play on this
either
I see a letter from WIA President to the ACMA but nothing else

The club is actively working towards increased
power for VK operators and late in
2010 the Wireless Institute of Australia
(WIA) put forward a proposal to the authorities
to increase the CW power level
from 120 to 500W and the SSB level from
400 to 1000W. This is being veiwed favourably
and is thought it may be approved
in the first half of 2011.

Now for a look inside Amateur Radio magazine for November
In the WIA Comment, President Michael Owen VK3KI provides details of a
letter he has sent to the Australian Communications and Media Authority
asking that the maximum power limit for Advanced Licensees be increased to
1,000 watts or 500 watts means power, on all exclusive HF Amateur Service
bands.
Justification for the increase include the need to overcome increasing
global
electro-magnetic noise pollution on all HF bands from consumer and
commercial
devices, enhance the ability to provide emergency communications, and to
address a disadvantage Australian radio amateurs have in contesting.
It includes comparison of the Australian 400w PEP limit with those
permitted in 13 other countries, nine which have higher limits.
