HC Deb 20 July 1949 vol 467 c61W
7. Mr. Hurd

asked the Postmaster-General what action he is taking to safeguard the wavelengths allocated to amateur radio stations by the Atlantic City Conference.

Mr. Wilfred Paling

As regards the part of the spectrum above 27.5 kilocycles per second (10.91 metres), the frequencies provided for amateur radio stations in the frequency allocation table agreed by the International Radio Conference of Atlantic City, 1947, have been made available for them. In the lower frequency ranges, the position cannot be cleared satisfactorily until the Atlantic City frequency allocation table in these ranges has been applied by international action. Discussions with this object are proceeding.
