YRTELNO 1666: ALLOCATION OF CALL SIGNS
1. ACCORDING TO THE LIST OF CALL SIGN ALLOCATIONS TO DTS ATTACHED TO DTI'S LETTER DATED 6 JULY 1989 TO MR DART OF YOUR SCIENCE,
HKC 193/ ENERGY AND NUCLEAR DEPARTMENT, BERMUDA HAS BEEN ALLOCATED ONE '89
BLOCK OF CALL SIGNS (VRT) IN THE VR SERIES AND NO/NO BLOCKS IN THE VS SERIES. HENCE, IT SHOULD NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TO
Sei
Mr
Kongon's
minute
BERMUDA WHETHER BOTH THE VR AND VS SERIES ARE ALLOCATED TO HONG 23/10.
KONG OR, AS SUGGESTED IN PARA 2 OF YRTUR, THE VR SERIES ONLY.
23
2. ON THE OTHER HAND, PARA 4 OF BERMUDA'S TELNO 135 IMPLIES THAT THE VSB CALL SIGN BLOCK IS BEING USED BY ITS INDEPENDENT RADIO AND TV STATIONS. BERMUDA INDICATES THAT IT IS THE NEED TO CHANGE THIS CALL SIGN THAT CAUSES IT THE MOST DIFFICULTY WITH RESPECT TO OUR PROPOSAL TO ALLOCATE BOTH THE VR AND VS SERIES TO HONG KONG. HOWEVER, THE POSITION IS CONFUSED AS ACCORDING TO DTI'S LIST OF DT CALL SIGN ALLOCATIONS, THE VSB BLOCK HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO HONG KONG. THE HONG KONG TELECOMMUNICATIONS AUTHORITY CERTAINLY REGARDS VSB AS ONE OF OUR BASIC CALL SIGN BLOCKS.
3. IT IS ALSO NOT CLEAR WHY THE LOSS OF ONE BLOCK OF CALL SIGNS IN THE VR SERIES WOULD CAUSE SUCH A HIGH DEGREE OF DISRUPTION AS BERMUDA CLAIMS IN PARA 3 OF IT'S TELNO 135 WHEN ACCORDING TO THE DTI LIST BERMUDA HAS OVER TWENTY OTHER BLOCKS IN OTHER SERIES.
