To IARU Member Societies in Region 2
On September 2013 the IARU Region 2 General Assembly will take place. More information about it will be sent later this month.
One of the topics the General Assembly analyze and approve during these events are the Region 2 band plans. As you know this band plans sets the framework on how we use our bands and what modes we use in specific frequencies.
IARU Region 2 has in its Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) the rules and regulations that establish the way this should be done. It is very important than you, our Members Societies, know well these procedures because we expect your active participation in this important process that take place every tree years.
According to the SOPs IARU Region 2 sends Member Societies all the information that you need to participate 12 month in advance. This is why you are receiving this email.
