Curbing radio stations<\/p>\n
From Media Indonesia<\/p>\n
I hail the plan of the Jakarta Provincial Office of Tourism,
\nPost and Telecommunications to curb the usage of communication
\nradio equipment. I have great concerns over the use of radio
\nfrequencies by amateur radio transmitters. In relation to this I
\nwould like to give some suggestions.<\/p>\n
* There are some members of society who operate communication
\nradio stations without permission from authorized body. Using the
\nterm Bankom etc., the station is aimed at supporting security
\nsystems of neighborhood communication, which is very positive.<\/p>\n
The only problem is that the radio equipment used in the
\nsystem does not use one working frequency. So it is quite likely
\nthe frequency is used in a wider band range. Besides which,
\npermission was obtained from unauthorized institutions such as
\nDistrict Head, Village Head, Local Police Chief etc. As far as I
\nknow, permission must be issued by the Division of Frequency
\nControl of the Department of Tourism, Post and
\nTelecommunications.<\/p>\n
* The curbing of radio stations must not only involve those
\nthat use a VHF (very high frequency) band but the coverage must
\ninclude UHF (ultra high frequency) and HF (high frequency). Today
\nmany private stations are operating on HF. You can monitor the
\nfrequency of 7 MHz. There also many illegal stations operating on
\nlong distance frequencies which can be caught by overseas amateur
\nradio stations.<\/p>\n
* Action should have been taken much earlier, when still in
\nthe process of applying for permission. Permission for amateur
\nradios must be given to very selective stations, i.e. only those
\nwho really want to experiment in radio electronics, not just a
\nlover of communication, because, as far as mentality development
\nis concerned, the former is easier to deal with than the latter.<\/p>\n
