RSGB Bandplan



The current bandplan is largely based on that agreed at the 2005 IARU Region 1 Conference with some local differences on
frequencies above 430 MHz.

Note: 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.

136 kHz		No rigid bandplan is proposed for the 136kHz band, but amateurs are asked to work
		within the following conventions, giving long distance communications and experimentation
		priority.
135.7 - 136.0 kHz		Station Tests and transatlantic reception window
		135.900-135.980 kHz preferred transatlantic window for Europe to North America
		transmissions of very slow telegraphy (QRSS)
136.0 - 137.4		Telegraphy 135.980 - 136.050 kHz preferred transatlantic window for Europe/North
		America contacts.
137.4 - 137.6		Non-Telegraphy digital modes
137.6 - 137.8		Very slow telegraphy centred on 137.7 kHz
		137.700-137.800 kHz preferred transatlantic window for North America to Europe

		Automatically controlled data stations (unattended) should avoid the use of the 10 MHz band

The 10 MHz band is allocated to the Amateur Service only on a Secondary basis. The IARU has agreed that only CW and other
narrow bandwidth modes are to be used on this band. Likewise the band is not to be used for contests and bulletins.
SSB may be used on the 10 MHz band during emergencies involving the immediate safety of life and property, and only by stations
actually involved with the handling of emergency traffic. The band segment 10,120-10,140 kHz may only be used for SSB
transmissions in the area of Africa south of the equator during local daylight hours.

Note 3: IARU Region 1 FAX/AFSK.
Note 4: Fast scan television carrier frequencies shall be chosen to avoid interference to other users, in particular the satellite

Notes 5 and 6: Deleted.
Note 7: Users must accept interference from repeater output channels in France and the Netherlands at 430.025-430.575 MHz.
Users with sites that allow propagation to other countries (notably France and the Netherlands) must survey the proposed
frequency before use to ensure that they will not cause interference to users in those countries.
Note 8: Internet voice gateway channels: maximum deviation +-2.4kHz, maximum effective radiated power 10 dBW
Note 9: The beacon band in the UK is scheduled to change to 432.400-432.500 MHz when agreed by the Primary User.
