RSGB Band Plan January 2023

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 to ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions.
