CZECH POHOTOVOSTNI TEST

[IK0ZCW]

Agenda Item 1.1 for the 2019 World Radio Communications Conference (WRC) invites the WRC to consider an allocation of the frequency band 50-54 MHz to the amateur service in Region 1. The Czech regulator CTO is investigating if theoretical study results match real life situations. An initial trial took place under flat propagation conditions on 28 February 2019 in the Czech Republic. One of the objectives of the test was to verify that military and amateur radio stations could co-exist in the 50 MHz band.
A second test when enhanced propagation conditions are more likely to occur will take place in the Sporadic E season on 13 June 2019. The worldwide amateur community is invited to participate in this second 50 MHz activity day, called Pohotovostni test or P-test.
