The WARC-79 met to revise and reorder the International Radio Regulations. This encompassed consideration of some 1300 pages of text over a two and one third month period by approximately eighteen hundred people. Approximately fourteen thousand proposals were presented. Technical proposals were considered within Committee 4 which was chaired by N. Morishima of Japan. This paper will identify those sections of the Radio Regulations considered in the Technical Committee, the important changes, and the implications thereof.
