RSGB Band Plan (effective from 1st January 2024)
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) Necessary                                                                           UK Usage
IARU Recommendation Bandwidth  
5,650.000-5,668.000 MHz   All Modes
Satellite uplinks   Amateur Satellite Service - Earth to Space only
     
5,668.000-5,670.000 2.7kHz 5,668.200 MHz   Alternative narrowband centre 
     
5,670.000-5,680.000   All Modes
     
5.755.000-5,760.000   All Modes
     
5,760.000-5,762.000 2.7kHz Narrowband Modes (including CW, SSB, MGM, EME)
    5,760.100 MHz                      Preferred centre of activity
    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

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.  
                                  Note specific conditions apply within 50km of SS206127 (Bude) or 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.
