WRC23 Day-2 saw the conference structure launch working groups and subgroups, as individual agenda items got underway and documents introduced. Amateur related topics being followed were wideband 40-50MHz satellite-borne radar sounders (AI-1.12), new 240GHz space sensors for climate monitoring (AI-1.14) – and a raft of future agenda proposals for WRC-2027/2031 (AI-10).
Whilst just introducing documents is normally a simple formality, the climate-change related sensor items generated a surprising number of comments compared to expectations. This will probably mean it will take longer before we get certainty regarding our new neighbours. With the COP28 Climate Conference also in Dubai, items such as climate sensors and earth sensing are very high priority items.
