Can we say it's almost in the bag?

On a more positive note for radio amateurs, a secondary allocation of
135.7-137.8 kHz to the Amateur Service was approved on first reading in
Plenary on Friday afternoon, November 9. This marks the first time since
allocations to radio services began that the Amateur Service has had an
allocation below the medium wave broadcasting band. The effective date
is not yet set, but is likely to be the date of entry into force of the
Final Acts of the Conference. Of course, amateurs must wait until their
own administrations authorize the new allocation before they can use it.
Some administrations, while not wishing to block the international
allocation, have indicated a reluctance to implement it in their
countries because of various interference concerns.
