The WARC-79 and Papua New Guinea

This paper briefly describes Papua New Guinea, a newly independent country, its telecommunications facilities, and its proposals to the 1979 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC-79), and selected WARC-79 results. The importance of the high-frequency frequency (HF) band is emphasized. It is concluded that most of the requirements of Papua New Guinea regarding the Table of Frequency Allocations were met-although some were not met in the way in which they were first proposed.
