Note 1: Local traffic using narrow band modes should operate between 1,296.500-1,296.800 MHz during contests and band openings.

Note 2: Stations in countries that do not have access to 1,298-1,300 MHz may also use the FM simplex segment for digital

communications.

Note 3:   IARU Region 1 recommended maximum bandwidth is 20 kHz.

Note 4:   IARU recommended maximum bandwidth is 12 kHz

LICENCE NOTES:   Amateur Service: Secondary User:

Amateur satellite service: 1,260-1,270 MHz: Secondary user Earth to Space only:

In the sub-band 1,298-1,300 MHz unattended operation is not allowed within 50km of SS206127 (Bude),

SE202577 (Harrogate), or in Northern Ireland.

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.
