Date: Monday 23 April 2007 Time: 3.00 pm

Attendees: Bruce Douglas (NZART), Mark Gooding (NZART), Doug Ingham (NZART -

FMTAG & ARE), Wayne Wedderspoon (MED), Jeff Hicks (MED).

Location: MED Building 33 Bowen Street, Wellington

The discussion commenced by going through various amendments to the Draft GURL.

The amendments were from Bruce, Mark and other NZART input.

This document initially started life as a GURL for Repeaters, but after various iterations

has been combined into a single GURL for both personal licenses and repeaters.

A possible implementation date was discussed as 1 July 2007, although this is academic

as any date can be used, the thoughts put forward were to get the date implemented prior

to the next round of repeater fee's (early September 2007 for the initial ones,

October/November 2007 for the majority).

Also noted that the draft has yet to go through the lawyers at the MED but this isn't a

hindrance to the process.

A long discussion then took place where the MED went through a number of points:

Current cost is approximate $400K-$500K - it is believed to be actual cost, across all

GURL's - more a compliance cost than anything else. For this cost Crown funding

(additional is required) for the MED. This is an internal MED issue and not one where once

GURL's are set up

NZART then put forward two items for discussion:

1. All New Zealand Licence - frequency pairs listed, with a status of Land Repeater New

Zealand wide (status is what is recorded in the SMART system).

2. NZART to supply an update of data (format to be worked out) where site information

has say a line item that a repeater under NZART exists and to consult the NZART website

to obtain further information.

Further letter/email out to all ARE/ARC's to this effect?

These two points were discussed, but were decided amongst the group that although they

fit some services (outside the Amateur service) they are not a "good fit" for the amateur

service.

Discussion moved to the perhaps most contentious item namely paragraph 5(3):

(3) Installations must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from,

existing and future non-amateur licensed services.

Under a GURL details are not recorded although you are expected to be a good radio

citizen the MED cannot not allow the GURL to operate without this clause.

However, it was noted by NZART on this point that this very paragraph is also in the

current GURL for personal licenses as footnote 2, and therefore nothing new to the

amateur service - what it does do is to weaken the current position that the amateur

service has for its repeaters. It must be noted that currently amateur repeaters are on the

same level as commercial service repeaters and as such have equal rights. If the

paragraph is kept in the GURL for Repeaters then this weakens this position.

The discussion moved around this point for some time, and various scenarios where

discussed. In fact from one of these scenarios, the position of the clause actually didn't

appear to be that bad in the end. The example was as follows:

one of a non-complaint commercial repeater. By not being compliant, it is in effect

unlicensed and is no longer an interference case, but one of non-compliance.

In fact this example was based on a real world complaint - nothing to do with the amateur

service, but such a series of events could be applied to the GURL for Repeaters.

So after a lengthy discussion the paragraph is one that the MED cannot live without, but

appears to be one where on the surface it looks bad, but may not in the cold hard light of

day when applied to real world scenarios, be one that we can live with?

Towards the end of the meeting NZART put forward the idea that could we have repeaters

in both SMART and the GURL for Repeaters - the best of both worlds? The answer was

yes.

This proposal was then explored, and is probably the outcome of the meeting.

The proposal is this:

repeaters, beacons and fixed links) licenses.

probably through HQ InfoLine and in the Branch mail out.

the draft for discussion and sign off from the membership.

to op in or out of the GURL. Those wishing the protection of the current system stay

in SMART and continue to pay a yearly fee, those wanting to op out and avail

themselves of the GURL can do so, thereby having a free fee installation.

and inquire as to the suitability of the GURL for this allocation.

Meeting concluded at 5.10 pm.

As a result of the introduction of the GURL (General User Radio Licence) for the Amateur

Service, and thereby a removal of licence fee's for personal licenses, there remained the

issue of the licensing of the Amateur Services Repeaters, Beacons and Fixed links.

These Repeaters, Beacons and Fixed links were set a fee, on an annual basis of $50 per

licence, making for a total of 321 licences as at 26 February 2007. This amounts to a total

of $16050 payable annually by the Amateur Service. This fee can be discounted by 10% if

paid online. As the fee was a huge burden a new way to licence these Repeaters,

Beacons and Fixed links was required.

At the February meeting with the MED:RSM (Ministry of Economic Development: Radio

Spectrum Management) the two ALO's put forward the suggestion to have the Repeaters,

Beacons and Fixed links moved into their own GURL much like the personal GURL we

have today. A positive for the Amateur Service is the removal of the financial burden; the

negative could be a loss of certain conditions currently enjoyed as part of the SMART

licensing system.

This paper explores the proposal from NZART (The New Zealand Association of Radio

Transmitters Incorporated) on the implementation of the GURL for Repeaters, Beacons

and Fixed links.

Currently in New Zealand as at 26 February 2007, there were 321 Repeaters, Beacons

and Fixed links. Of this total 318 are owned by various NZART radio clubs or societies

which are associated to NZART, the other three are owned privately.

"1.56 amateur service: A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self-training,

intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that is, by duly

authorized persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without

pecuniary interest."

The same words are echoed again in the GURL Amateur Radio Operators, paragraph

5(3).

As the amateur service is one that cannot readily recover costs or fund raise continually,

the cost of running, maintaining and the general up keep of repeaters, beacons and fixed

links is a large financial burden.

When the current licensing regime imposed the $50 per annum cost, the medium to long

term future of the amateur service to continue to run these repeaters, beacons and fixed

links is seriously at risk.

Since becoming aware of this situation many discussions have taken place to resolve the

issue, but without success.

Also it must be noted that as we are in 2007, it is also a Fees Review year. NZART have

already submitted its reply to the Fees Review. Currently although the new fees have yet

to be struck the three solutions offered are one of nil increase, $75 per annum or maybe

$200 per annum.

The discussions on Repeater Fees have now come to the point where a resolution is now

available.

The Executive Council of NZART has decided to release this document to the membership

of NZART via HQ InfoLine (released on 6 May 2007).

Council in releasing this document has put forward the pros and cons (via comments) on

this issue. Council is also proposing that the GURL be discussed fully at the upcoming

AGM in Palmerston North over Queens Birthday Weekend (1-4 June 2007).

While there is no actual timeline for this proposal, it must be said that if this proposal is

acceptable, then to have this resolution in, prior to the next round of licence fees would be

advantageous.

that readers can compare the issues in a clear and concise manner.

During the discussion process the MED have agreed that the current licensing system via

SMART and the new GURL can co-exist.

So it is up to the various clubs and individuals to decide, if the GURL is implemented which

is best for them.

An example could be for some clubs to have all their repeaters in the SMART system, or

some in SMART and some under the GURL, or all under the GURL.

Also although NZART agreed to pay for the last licensing round in 2006, there is no

commitment to do so in the future, so clubs and individuals must weigh this up, as well as

the pros and cons of the technical issues if giving up the SMART licence in favour of the

GURL.

It must be noted that NZART Council is not recommending one system over another, but is

placing before the membership the option to choose.

Finally, members must keep in mind the realities. We are undergoing a period of major

reform in the radio licensing system in New Zealand. Much has been to our advantage.

The MED remains the licensing authority in New Zealand, and it is MED that is the

regulation maker. They make the final decisions. At the same time, the Ministry is being

very fair, and is working carefully through a proper process to deliver something that is

acceptable to us in the licensing of repeaters. It may be that we will not be offered a

perfect solution. The object is to achieve the best deal that is possible.

COMMENTS TO EACH SECTION START AND END WITH '==' and shown in 'RED'

where appropriate

Pursuant to Regulation 9 of the Radiocommunications Regulations 2001 ("the

acting under delegated authority from the chief executive, I give the following notice.

place prior to the next round of licence fees.==

means that if you have let this lapse, you must have these prior to applying for the

establishment of a repeater, beacon or fixed link.==

in this GURL. Examples are the 23CM band and the 614MHz Channel 39 allocation. The

(3) Installations must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from,

to remove this condition. You will note that this condition is already part of the current

Amateur GURL under footnote 2 of that GURL.

This provision imposes a great burden on the Amateur Service and is possibly

unacceptable. It must be stated that the ALO's argued for its removal, but were

unsuccessful. That being the case, it would appear on the surface to be a negative, but in

actual operation might be workable. If interference is suffered then in identifying it, it may

become apparent that such interference is in fact a non-compliant transmitter. The MED

have stated as part of the discussion on this point that there is a huge difference from an

enforcement view point between interference and non-compliance. In fact, a real world

example was given of this at the discussion, where a case started as an interference case,

and became one of a non-compliant transmitter, therefore operating outside of its licence.

The key issue we discussed was clause 5(3). In essence this is the "cost" of moving

installations from individual licensing to the GURL. On first glance this is a significant loss

of the protection that being recorded in the Register (ie SMART) provides. As discussed,

however, there are some mitigating factors:

• Co-channelling nationwide is under amateur control (ie no other services involved).

• Where the site is amateur managed/owned, this provides a significant interference

control mechanism.

• Where the site is not amateur managed/owned, a site agreement can be negotiated

(if such does not already exist) with new services being established.

• Any unlicensed transmissions (ie not in accordance with a licence) causing

interference to amateur installations will still be pursued as a non-compliance issue

by RSM (s103 and s113 of the RC Act refer)==

(4) Prior to establishment, the person responsible for the installation must:

a) undertake technical co-ordination with the licensees of all existing radiocommunications

within one kilometre of the proposed amateur installation; and
