The plan ensures orderly use of the radio spectrum (the limited range of frequencies available for broadcasting) so that multiple stations can coexist without technical chaos.\n\nThe document includes **endnotes** showing its amendment history from 2001 to 2017, tracking changes to frequencies, transmitter sites, and technical specifications over time."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-wagga-wagga-radio","history":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-wagga-wagga-radio/history","analysis":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-wagga-wagga-radio/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-wagga-wagga-radio/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-wagga-wagga-radio/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/licence-area-plan-wagga-wagga-radio/documents"}}
