| RSGB Band Plan (effective from 1st January 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. | ||||
| 5.7 GHz (6cm) | UK Usage | |||
| IARU Recommendation | ||||
| 5,650.000-5,668.000 MHz | ||||
| Satellite uplinks | Amateur Satellite Service - Earth to Space only | |||
| 5,650.000-5,670.000 | 5,668.200 MHz Alternative centre of activity | |||
| Narrow band | 5,668.8 MHz Beacons | |||
| CW/EME/SSB | ||||
| 5,670.000-5,680.000 | ||||
| All modes | ||||
| 5.755.000-5,760.000 | ||||
| All modes | ||||
| 5,760.000-5,762.000 | ||||
| Narrow band | 5,760.100 MHz Current centre of activity | |||
| CW/EME/SSB | 5,760.750-5,760.800 MHz Local Beacons, 10W erp max | |||
| 5760.800-5760.995 | 5,760.800-5,760.995 MHz Propagation Beacons only | |||
| Propagation Beacons | ||||
| 5,762.000-5,765.000 | ||||
| All modes | ||||
| 5,820.000-5,830.000 | ||||
| All modes | ||||
| 5,830.000-5,850.000 | ||||
| Satellite downlinks | Amateur Satellite Service - Space to Earth only | |||
| LICENCE NOTES: Amateur Service: 5,650-5,680 MHz - Secondary User. | ||||
| 5,755-5,765 and 5,820-5,850 MHz - Secondary User: Users must accept interference from ISM users. | ||||
| Amateur Satellite Service: 5,650-5,670 MHz and 5,830-5,850 MHz - Secondary User: Users must accept | ||||
| interference from ISM users. | ||||
| Unattended operation is permitted for remote control, digital modes and beacons, except in the sub-bands | ||||
| 5,670-5,680 MHz within 50 km of SS206127 (Bude) and SE202577 (Harrogate). | ||||
| ISM = Industrial, scientific and medical | ||||
| 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. | ||||
