The meeting's focus was on the International Telecommunication\nUnion's (ITU) upcoming World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-23) later\nthis year in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The IARU effort for WRC-23 is\nbeing led by IARU Vice President Ole Garpestad, LA2RR.\n\nHere is a summary of the meeting submitted by IARU Secretary Joel Harrison,\nW5ZN:\n\n\"Of particular interest to the amateur radio and amateur satellite services\nfor WRC-23 is agenda item 9.1b concerning the amateur allocation in the 23\n- centimeter band at 1240-1300 MHz. The Radio Navigation Satellite Service\n(RNSS) is seeking protection from secondary users in addition to an\nexpanded allocation. Preparatory work for this item is being conducted\nwithin the ITU's Working Party 5A. IARU's global WRC-23 9.1b team, led by\nBarry Lewis, G4SJH, has been consulting with the amateur community,\nresulting in a contribution to the draft guidance recommendation in support\nof coexistence with RNSS. Details on this work can be found at www.iaru.org.\n\nThe council reviewed a comprehensive written report from IARU\n[Electromagnetic Compatibility] Coordinator Dr. Martin Sach, G8KDF, on his\nwork with the International Special Committee on Radio Interference\n(CISPR). CISPR was formed in 1934 to set standards for controlling\nelectromagnetic interference in electrical and electronic devices. CISPR's\nspecific areas include radio interference measurements and statical\nmethods, and limits for the protection of radio frequencies.\n\nAn ongoing strategic planning review of the current IARU structure is being\nconducted within several Working Groups (WGs). The Administrative Council\nreceived reports from the Futures WG Steering Committee, Relationship WG,\nGovernance WG, and the Legal WG. This work is scheduled for completion no\nlater than July to allow discussion at the Region 1 [General] Conference in\nSerbia in October, with additional opportunities provided to the other two\nregions.\n\nRegion 1 has received several inquiries regarding the status of [John\nDevoldere's,] ON4UN, and [Mark Demeuleneere's,] ON4WW, book, Ethics and\nOperating Procedures for the Radio Amateur and is considering how this\ndocument [can] be updated.\n\nThe Summary Record from this meeting, in addition to previous meetings, is\navailable at www.iaru.org/reference/ac-summary-records/.\"\n\nThe next virtual meeting of the Administrative Council is scheduled for\nMarch 20, and an in-person meeting is scheduled for June 25 at the\nconclusion of Ham Radio in Friedrichshafen, Germany.\n\nThe members of the IARU Administrative Council are the President, Vice\nPresident, Secretary, and two members from each of the regional\norganizations. Members participating in this meeting were IARU President\nTim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA; Vice President Ole Garpestad, LA2RR; Secretary Joel\nHarrison, W5ZN; IARUI Region 1; George Gorsline, VE3YV, President, and Rod\nStafford, W6ROD,Sylvain Azarian, F4GKR, President, and Mats Espling,\nSM6EAN, Secretary, IARU Region 2; George Gorsline, VE3YV, President, and\nRod Stafford, W6ROD, Secretary, and Region 3; Chairman Ken Yamamoto,\nJA1CJP, and Director Yudi Hasbi, YD1PRY. Assistant Secretary David Sumner,\nK1ZZ, also participated.\n\nFounded in 1925, IARU is the worldwide voice of radio amateurs who secure\nand safeguard the amateur radio spectrum.

Specifically, the TLE data provided does not\nalways include the leading zero in AO-7's object number \"07530\". The\nofficial report from the team's leader: \"My grandma would say that AMSAT's\nsoftware is just a little too persnickety.\"\n\nA member of the tiger team agreed to adjust the update script to account\nfor the vagaries of the 18th SDS data. A production quality fix is expected\nby March 1. Meanwhile, manual monitoring and updates will keep AO-7 in the\nfiles.\n\n[ANS thanks Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT IT Team, for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n     Need new satellite antennas?

Now enthusiasts are\nconcerned “there will be a knee-jerk reaction to what’s happened,” he said\nin an interview.\n\nHe said he hoped that authorities and hobbyists could coordinate on\nreasonable guidelines or rules if needed. “It’s also in the interests of\nauthorities not to be shooting down party balloons with missiles.”\n\n[ANS thanks The Washington Post for the above information]\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\n    Want to fly the colors on your own grid expedition?\n            Get your AMSAT car flag and other neat stuff\n                    from our Zazzle store!\n        25% of the purchase price of each product goes\n            towards Keeping Amateur Radio in Space\n              https://www.zazzle.com/amsat_gear\n\n+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+\n\nChanges to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for February 19\n\nTwo Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps\nin the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical\nmodel of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly\nupdates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin\nfiles are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if\nnew high interest satellites are launched.
