UK HF Amateur Radio Band Plan |
136kHz |
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 STATION TESTS & TRANSATLANTIC RECEPTION WINDOW 135.900 - 135.980 preferred trans-atlantic window for Europe to North American transmissions of very slow CW (QRSS) 1360 - 137.4 CW 135.980 -136.050kHz preferred trans-atlantic window for Europe/North American contacts 137.4 - 137.6 NON CW MODES (Hell. Wolf, PSK etc) 137.700 - 137.800kHz preferred trans-atlantic window for North America to Europe transmissions |

LICENCE NOTES: Amateur Services: Secondary Satellite Service: No allocation Power limit: 26dBW PEP Permitted modes: Morse, telephony, RTTY, data, fax, SSTV
|
---|
10.100 Mhz CW Only 10.106 QRP
10.140 Mhz Digimodes (and CW, but excluding AX25 packet) (Unattended digimode stations should avoid the use of the 10 Mhz band) 10.150 Mhz Note: AX25 packet should not be used on the 10 Mhz band. END OF BAND |
---|
10 Mhz Band Plan Notes: The 10MHz band is allocated to the Amateur Service on a secondary basis only. Therefore IARU have agreed on a worldwide basis that only CW and digimodes, being narrow bandwidth modes, are to be used on this band. Likewise this band is not to be used for contests or news bulletins.

Notes on the HF Band Plans1.
They achieve this objective because the vast majority of licensed amateurs observe the voluntary recommendations.
In some countries (eg the USA) licence regulations require that specific modes be confined to specific sections of each band.
After having established contact they should move to another free frequency within the telephony section of the band. |
