Bonnie suggested two URLs: 1. http://bandplans.com/
2. http://hflink.com/bandplans/ The first starts out by saying "this site is not intended as any kind of recommendations for the band usage. It merely records the users of the amateur HF bands & 6 meters. Some band usage is controversial. Our job is not to make judgement either ways... if there are multiple users for certain frequencies, we will happily record both of them. Our rule of thumb is: if you can hear QSOs on those frequencies, we will happily accept an entry." While this site contains information that is useful in the band planning process, its not a bandplan. Bonnie's second URL provides links to many band plans. One of those links is to the IARU region 2 bandplan: http://www.hflink.com/bandplans/Region_2_MF__HF_Bandplan_Annex__1_2008 .pdf This is dated 2008-01-01, as states "It is suggested that Member Societies, in coordination with the authorities, incorporate it in their regulations and promote it widely with their radio amateur communities." However, this URL's link to the "ARRL new proposal..." is to a bandplan proposal that the ARRL has withdrawn: http://hflink.com/bandplans/ARRLBandwidthBasedProposalCharts.pdf The current ARRL bandplan is available via http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/regulations/bandplan.html 73, Dave, AA6YQ --- In [email protected], "kc4cop996" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Alan: > > I've been attempting to establish a list of a suggested frequencies > to be used with the various digital modes in Region-Two for quite > some time.
