Notes to the Band Plan
	ITU-R Recommendation SM.328 (extract)
	Necessary bandwidth: For a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to
	ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions.
	The use of Amplitude Modulation (AM) is acceptable in the all modes segments but users are asked to consider
	adjacent channel activity when selecting operating frequencies.
	Foundation and Intermediate Licence holders are advised to check their licences for the permitted power limits and
	conditions applicable to their class of licence.
	All Modes		CW, SSB and those modes listed as Centres of Activity, plus AM (Consideration should be given to adjacent channel users.
	Image Modes		Any analogue or digital image modes within the appropriate bandwidth, for example SSTV and FAX
	Narrow band modes		All modes using up to 500Hz bandwidth, including CW, RTTY, PSK, etc
	Digimodes		Any digital mode used within the appropriate bandwidth, for example RTTY, PSK, MT63, etc
	Sideband usage		Below 10MHz use lower sideband (LSB), above 10MHz use upper sideband (USB). Note the lowest dial settings for LSB Voice modes are 1843, 3603 and 7043kHz on 160, 80 and 40m
	Beacons		Propagation Beacon Sub-bands are highlighted - Please avoid transmitting in them!!
	Amplitude modulation (AM) may be used in the telephony sub-bands providing consideration is given to adjacent
	channel users (NRRL Davos 05)
	CW QSOs are accepted across all bands, except within beacon segments (Recommendation DV05_C4_Rec_13)
	Contest activity shall not take place on 10, 18 and 24MHz bands
	Non-contesting radio amateurs are recommended to use the contest-free HF bands (30, 17 and 12m) during the
	largest international contests (DV05_C4_Rev_07)
	Users of Digital Voice (DV) should check that the channel is not in use by other modes (CT08_C5_Rec20)
	The term "automatically controlled data stations" include Store and Forward stations.
	Transmitting frequencies
	The announced frequencies in the band plan are understood as "transmitted frequencies" (not those of the suppressed carrier!)
	Unmanned transmitting stations
	IARU member societies are requested to limit this activity on the HF bands.  It is recommended that any unmanned
	transmitting stations on HF shall only be activated under operator control except for beacons agreed with the IARU
	Region 1 Beacon Coordinator, or specially licensed experimental stations.
	1.8MHz
	Radio Amateurs in countries that have a SSB allocation ONLY below 1840kHz, may continue to use it, but the
	National Societies in those countries are requested to take all necessary steps with their licence administrations
	to adjust phone allocations in accordance with the Region 1 Band Plan (UBA - Davos 2005)
	3.5MHz
	Intercontinental operations should be given priority in the segments 3500 - 3510kHz and 3775 - 3800kHz
	Where no DX traffic is involved, the contest segments should not include 3500 - 3510kHz or 3775 - 3800kHz.
	Member societies will be permitted to set other (lower) limits for national contests (within these limits).
	3510 - 3600kHz may be used for unmanned ARDF beacons (CW, A1A) (Recommendation DV05_C4_Rec_12)
	Member societies should approach their national telecommunication authorities and ask them not to allocate
	frequencies other than amateur stations in the band segment that IARU has assigned to intercontinental long
	distance traffic
	7MHz band
	The band segment 7040 - 7060kHz may be used for automatic controlled data stations (unattended) traffic in the
	areas of Africa south from the equator during local daylight hours.
	Where no DX traffic is involved, the contest segment should not include 7,175 - 7,200kHz.
	10MHz band
	SSB may be used during emergencies involving the immediate safety of life and property and only by stations
	actually involved in the handling of emergency traffic
	The band segment 10120kHz to 10140kHz may be used for SSB transmissions in the area of Africa south of the
	equator during local daylight hours.
	News bulletins on any mode should not be transmitted on the 10MHz band.
	28MHz band
	Member societies should advise operators not to transmit on frequencies between 29.3 and 29.51MHz to avoid
	interference to amateur satellite downlinks
	Experimentation with NBFM Packet Radio on 29MHz band:
	Preferred operating frequencies on each 10kHz from 29.210 to 29.290MHz inclusive should be used.  A deviation
	of +/- 2.5kHz being used with 2.5kHz as maximum modulation frequency.
	1.3GHz Band
	The band is subject to National and IARU-R1 replanning. It is also shared with air traffic radar
