RSGB Band Plan January 2024

RSGB Usage Plan (effective from 1st January 2018) Access to this band is available to Full Licensees only See Licence Schedule notes for specific conditions 5 MHz (60m) Available UK Usage Width 5258.5 - 5264.0 kHz 5.5 kHz 5262 kHz - CW QRP Centre of Activity 5276.0 - 5284.0 8 kHz 5278.5 kHz - may be used for UK emergency comms traffic 5288.5 - 5292.0 3.5 kHz Beacons on 5290 kHz (Note-2) 5298.0 - 5307.0 9 kHz 5313.0 - 5323.0 10 kHz 5317 kHz - AM 6kHz max. bandwidth 5333.0 - 5338.0 5 kHz 5354.0 - 5358.0 4 kHz Within WRC-15 Band 5362.0 - 5374.5 12.5 kHz Partly within WRC-15 band, WSPR 5378.0 - 5382.0 4 kHz 5395.0 - 5401.5 6.5 kHz 5403.5 - 5406.5 3 kHz Unless indicated, usage is all-modes (necessary bandwidth to be within channel limits) Note 1: Upper Sideband is recommended for SSB activity. Note 2: Activity should avoid interference to the experimental beacons on 5290 kHz Note 3: Amplitude Modulation is permitted with a maximum bandwidth of 6kHz, on frequencies with at least 6kHz available width Note 4: Contacts within the UK should avoid the WRC-15 band (5351.5 - 5366.5 kHz) if possible For the latest current guidance refer to the RSGB website LICENCE NOTES: Full Licensees only Secondary User: 100W max Note that specific conditions regarding operating, transmission bandwidth, power and antennas are specified in the Licence Notes to the Usage 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 t ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions.
