Somebody dragging feet?
"Amateurs
in the UK have been very fortunate in having early access to 5MHz,
with 5 spot frequencies 15 years ago and more than 70kHz of spectrum
made available in 2013. This was a result of close cooperation with
Ofcom and the MoD, who is primary user on the band. The UK currently
has an arrangement that gives us more spectrum and a higher power
allowance of 100W at 5MHz, however it does not
cover all of the WRC-15 band of 5351.5 to 5366.5kHz. The Society
played a very active role in the WRC-15 process and continues to work
with Ofcom to gain access to all of the WRC-15 band, however this is
not expected to change in the foreseeable future as there are
on-going assignments within the band. The RSGB will implement the
IARU Region 1 band plan for 5MHz within the segments allocated to us.
In common with other Region 1 societies with allocations greater than
15kHz, we will recommend that frequencies within the WRC-15 band that
are allowed under the UK Amateur Radio Licence only be used for
international contacts, or for stations with no other option."
