[Swprograms] Fwd: [ODXA] CHU frequency conflict with shortwave station WHRI

["Richard Cuff" <rdcuff@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not exactly shortwave programming, but likely of interest to folks here.

Since CHU is now licensed as a broadcaster and not a fixed service,
they no longer have a built-in prioritized right to the 7335 kHz
frequency.

WHRI has decided to use this frequency for several hours/day and has
referenced with the HFCC for 24 hour/day usage.

See Brian Smith's forwarded note below.  Apologies if you've already
seen this elsewhere.

Hello Brian,

I am aware of this situation.

CHU has a licence to broadcast on 7.335 MHz and this frequency has been
registered with ITU, HFCC, FCC and other broadcast authorities. This,
however, does not guaranty that we own this frequency, for all international
purposes. We must now fight for it, with the FCC.

I have sent several letters to WHRI, but their chief engineer has not
replied to me. I have also sent a letter to the FCC stating the use of our
service on this band and our long standing service at this frequency. They
have yet to respond.

We must now go through all politically correct channels to resolve this
dispute. But the members of your association can use other mean declare
their dissatisfaction with the interference from WHR. Have your interested
members send email to WHR ( lsarkisian@xxxxxxxxx ), and the FCC (
thomas.lucey@xxxxxxx ).

This may have more impact.

Regards,
Raymond Pelletier
