Note
1: Only to be used between stations in different
continents (not for intra-European QSOs). |
|
|
Note
2: 50.0-50.1MHz is currently shared with Propagation
Beacons. These are due to be migrated |
|
|
to 50.4-50.5 MHz, to create
more space for Telegraphy and a new Synchronised Beacon Project |
|
|
Note
3: 20 kHz channel spacing. Channel centre frequencies
start at 51.430 MHz. |
|
|
Note
4: Embedded data traffic is allowed with digital voice
(DV) |
|
|
Note
5: May be used for Emergency Communications and
Community Events |
|
|
Note-6: Digital Experiments to
support innovation may occur around 50.6, 51.0 or 51.7 MHz |
|
|
with maximum bandwidths of 50,
200 and 500 kHz respectively on a shared non-interference basis |

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. |
