Some countries in all three Regions have no equivalent FCC to govern their amateur radio rules and regulations so they rely on IARU guidence. Bermuda is a member of Region 2. You might find their "rules and regulations" interesting especially on AM operation. http://www.bermudashorts.bm/rsb/class3r.htm#Measurements_ Also, ARRL President said: "The Region 2 band plan accommodates DSB AM operation. For example, if you look at the segment 7100 - 7130, you will see a asterisk by the 2700 bandwidth."
The 7100-7130 is a typo. The 40 meter segment on the IARU Region 2 band plan that has the asterisk really says 7100-7300. You can click on the current Region 2 band plan here: http://www.iaru-r2.org/band-plan/ Pete, wa2cwa On Sun, 07 Mar 2010 22:19:09 -0500 sbjohns...@aol.com writes: > >seems they are trying to squeeze us into "special segments", > >such as the 30 Kc. segment Kay mentioned, only 5 Kc. of > >which are in the U.S. fone band! > > I'm having trouble understanding what they are trying to accomplish. > > Maybe it is just a matter of power and control by people who think > they > are bigshots.
