Understanding Amateur Radio Band Plans and Frequency Allocation Guidelines

This chapter discusses the frequency allocations for Amateur Operators as defined by the FCC and ITU. It highlights how Amateur Operators have recognized the importance of certain frequency ranges, particularly those in the 6 meter band, suitable for both long-range and local contacts. It emphasizes the need to coordinate frequencies for repeaters and point-to-point communication, as well as considerations for satellite operations. Band Plans serve as voluntary guidelines created by the Amateur Radio Community, including input from organizations like the American Radio Relay League, to ensure the efficient use of the radio spectrum.

  1. Band Plans Chapter 4 Section 2

  2. Allocated Frequencies • FCC and ITU have allocated certain frequency ranges to Amateur Operators • Amateur Operators Recognized that certain things made better sense • 6 meter frequencies • Some parts are very good for long range ratio contact • Some parts work better locally • Does not make sense to use long range areas for local contacts • Coordinate frequencies used by repeaters and those used for radio to radio contacts • Satellites can’t easily change frequencies • Pick frequencies that get into space good for satellites

  3. Band Plans • Band Plans suggest that certain frequency ranges be used for certain things • It is a voluntary guideline beyond the rules set forth by the FCC (T3B01) • Band Plans are put together by the Amateur Radio Community (T3B03) • American Radio Relay League put together a nice outline – left some things open locally • In our area Repeater Councils in Illinois and Missouri fill in some of local decisions • Band Plans are voluntary guidelines to help ensure the efficient use of the radio spectrum (T3B02)
