OK, while the USA drifts from the suggested IARU Region 2 band plan,
here is an "almost" compatible digital band plan, "Compatible" with
the Region 1 and Region 2 bandplan for digital modes with a couple of
exceptions where "wide" and "narrow" digital modes are mixed . I mixed
them because the USA has less room for them. Also one of my suggested
JT65A frequencies for WSPR and JT65A would differ from current
practice in the USA. IF USA hams followed this suggested plan, it
would be broadly compatible with Europe's digital plan and would
provide a basis for the addition of new modes and illustrate regions
for suggested "calling frequencies". Surely too simple? Feedback ?
(I can hear Bonnie saying "I told you so" )
