RSGB Band Plan (effective from 29th March 2009)
The following band plan is largely based on that agreed at IARU Region 1 General Conferences with some local differences on
on frequencies above 430 MHz.
7 MHz (40m) Necessary UK Usage
  Bandwidth  
7,000-7,025 kHz 200 Hz Telegraphy, Contest Preferred Segment
7,025-7,040 200 Hz Telegraphy. 7,030 kHz - QRP Centre of Activity 
7,040-7,047 500 Hz Narrow band modes
7,047-7,050 500 Hz Narrow band modes, automatically controlled data stations (unattended) 
7,050-7,053 2.7 kHz All modes, automatically controlled data stations (unattended), (Note 1)
7,053-7,060 2.7 kHz All modes, digimodes
7,060-7,100 2.7 kHz All modes, digital voice 7070kHz, SSB QRP Centre of Activity 7090 kHz, SSB Contest Preferred Segment
7,100-7,130 2.7 kHz All modes, 7,110kHz - Region 1 Emergency Centre of Activiity.
7,130-7,200 2.7 kHz All modes, SSB Contest Preferred Segment, 7,165kHz - Image Centre of Activity
7,175-7,200 2.7 kHz All modes, priority for intercontinental operation
Note 1. Lowest LSB carrier frequency (dial setting) should be 7,053 kHz.

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.
