I am speaking strictly of US rules and regulations, not those of any other
country. Our requirements must fit within ITU regulations, but are much
more restrictive. We have to stay within the band as the ITU gives it, but
we must also stay within FCC mode/frequency requirements. Thus, you don't
hear any US station operators working voice in 7.0-7.125, 3.5-3.6,
14.0-14.150, 18.068-18.110,21.0-21.2. 24.890-24.930, or 28.0-289.300 - or at
least they better not be, or they will be subject to fines and possible loss
of their license. Those are not "volunteer" band plans, but requirements
laid on us by the FCC. They may be used ONLY for CW or other narrow modes.
There are then "suggested" sub-bands within those areas where it is
SUGGESTED that one work PSK or RTTY , etc.
