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.
7 MHz (40m) Necessary UK Usage
  Bandwidth  
7,000-7,035 kHz 200 Hz Telegraphy. 7,030 kHz - QRP (low power) Centre of Activity
7,035-7,038 500 Hz Narrow band modes
7,038-7,040 500 Hz Narrow band modes - automatically controlled data stations (unattended)
7,040-7,043 2.7 kHz All modes - automatically controlled data stations (unattended),
    7,043 kHz Image mode Centre of Activity, (Note 1)
7,043-7,200 2.7 kHz All modes (excluding digimode)
    7,045 kHz may be used for UK emergency traffic.
    7,060 kHz IARU Region 1 centre of activity for emergency traffic
    7,090 kHz may be used as an alternative for UK emergency traffic
     
Note 1. Lowest LSB carrier frequency (dial setting) should be 7,043 kHz.
  This band will be replanned before March 2009. 
LICENCE NOTES: 7,000-7,100 kHz Amateur and Amateur Satellite Service - Primary User:
                        7,100-7,200 kHz Amateur Service – Secondary User: Available on the basis of non interference to other
                                services (inside or outside of the UK).
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.
