Two additional MW frequencies may be used in Ireland

Ireland's Commission for Communications Regulation has published its 
Response to the Consultation on a Strategy for Management of the Radio 
Spectrum. Among the things in the document is a status report on two 
mediumwave frequencies that may be available for use in Ireland. The 
Commission says:

Twelve respondents to the consultation brought up the issue of reassigning 
two medium wave frequencies, originally allocated to the Russian Federation, 
to Ireland for the establishment of Christian broadcast services.

ComReg is aware of this issue and had been working thorough the ITU with a 
view to coordinating these two frequencies (549 kHz and 846 kHz) for use in 
Ireland. This work is being carried out in accordance with the treaty 
covering the use of this spectrum.

The current status after more than two years of effort is as follows:

. Co-ordination for use of the frequency of 846 kHz in Ireland is complete. 
Due to the nature of radiowave propagation at these frequencies, this 
frequency is not usable above 300 watts in Ireland in order to avoid harmful 
interference to the service area of a cochannel transmitter located in Rome. 
It is doubtful if use of this frequency, at such a low power, is of any 
practical use in Ireland.

. Co-ordination for use of the frequency of 549 kHz in Ireland is reaching a 
conclusion. Current indications are that the frequency may be usable below 
40 000 watts in order to avoid harmful interference to the service area of a 
co-channel transmitter located in Spain.

Once co-ordination and reassignment is completed these two frequencies will 
be made available for licensing by the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland 
(BCI).
