RSGB Bandplan (effective from 1st December 2006)
The following bandplan is largely based on that agreed at the 2005 IARU Region 1 Conference with some local differences on
frequencies above 430 MHz.
3.5 MHz (80m) Necessary UK Usage
  Bandwidth  
3,500-3,510 kHz 200 Hz Telegraphy - Priority for inter-continental operation
3,510-3,560 200 Hz Telegraph - contest preferred. 3,555 kHz - QRS (slow telegraphy) Centre of Activity
3,560-3,580 200 Hz Telegraphy 3,560 kHz - QRP (low power) Centre of Activity
3,580-3590 500 Hz Narrow band modes
3,590-3,600 500 Hz Narrow band modes - automatically controlled data stations (unattended)
3,600-3,620 2.7 kHz All modes - automatically controlled data stations (unattended), (Note 1)
3,600-3,650 2.7 kHz All modes - Phone contest preferred, (Note 1).
3,650-3,700 2.7 kHz All modes - Telephony, Telegraphy
    3,663 kHz may be used for UK emergency comms traffic.
    3,690 kHz SSB QRP (low power) Centre of Activity.
3,700-3,800 2.7 kHz All modes - Phone contest preferred
    3,735 kHz Image mode Centre of Activity
    3,760 kHz IARU Region 1 Emergency Centre of Activity
3,775-3,800   Priority for inter-continental telephony (SSB) operation
     
Note 1. Lowest LSB carrier frequency (dial setting) should be 3,603 kHz.

Notes to the Bandplan
ITU-R Recommendation SM.328 (extract)
Necessary bandwidth: For a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to
ensure the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions.
The use of Amplitude Modulation (AM) is acceptable in the all modes segments but users are asked to consider
adjacent channel activity when selecting operating frequencies.
Foundation and Intermediate Licence holders are advised to check their licences for the permitted power limits and
conditions applicable to their class of licence.
