I took a look at the IARU Region 1 and Region 2 band plans, removed areas where there are clear differences (30, 40 and 160, I'll work on them later) , and produced a plan that is compatible with these two regions (I'll look at other regions). While doing this, and thinking how "easy" the task was, I realized that the USA may not actually follow their own region's plan. I'll look at that next. I am now off to find the USA band plan approved by the FCC and find where is differs. Then, focus on where it agrees.
However, for a start...what is wrong with this suggested plan for digital modes? Could we live with this if individual countries allowed the use of the band segments ? 80M 3580 3590 Narrow digi modes <500 hz (R1, R2) 3590-3600 unattended digimode stations <500 hz (R1 R2) 3600-3620 wide digi modes modes including unattended digital stations (R1 R2) Details: 3580-3581 WSPR 3582-3583 JT65A 3583-3586 PSK31 3586-3590 Digi modes Under 500Hz, Olivia, Throb, Throbx, Hell, Thor, ALE400, PSK 125-500, Chip. 3590-3600 RTTY and unattended digital modes <500 Hz 3600-3620 WINMOR BBS, PACTOR BBS, ALE .
