Notes on the VHF Band Plans
1.
The beacon and satellite services must be kept free of normal comminications transmissions to prevent interference with these services.

2.
The use of the FM mode within the SSB/CW section and CW and SSB in the FM-only sector is not recommended.

3.
Repeater stations are primarily intended as an aid for mobile working and they are not intended to be used for DX communications.

FM stations wishing to work DX should use the all-modes section, taking care to avoid frequencies allocated for specific purposes.
