| RSGB Band Plan (effective from 1st June 2016) | ||||
| The following band plan is largely based on that agreed at IARU Region 1 General Conferences with some local differences on | ||||
| on frequencies above 430 MHz. | ||||
| 10 MHz (30m) | Neccesary | UK Usage | ||
| Bandwidth | ||||
| 10,100-10,130 kHz | 200 Hz | Telegraphy (CW) | ||
| 10,116 kHz - QRP (low power) Centre of Activity | ||||
| 10,130-10,150 | 500 Hz | Narrow band modes | ||
| Automatically controlled data stations (unattended) should avoid the use of the 10 MHz band | ||||
| The 10 MHz band is allocated to the Amateur Service only on a Secondary basis. The IARU has agreed that only CW and other | ||||
| narrow bandwidth modes are to be used on this band. Likewise the band is not to be used for contests and bulletins. | ||||
| SSB may be used on the 10 MHz band during emergencies involving the immediate safety of life and property, and only by stations | ||||
| actually involved with the handling of emergency traffic. The band segment 10,120-10,140 kHz may only be used for SSB | ||||
| transmissions in the area of Africa south of the equator during local daylight hours. | ||||
| LICENCE NOTES: Amateur Service - Secondary User. | ||||
| Notes to the Band Plan | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| Foundation and Intermediate Licence holders are advised to check their licences for the permitted power limits and | ||||
| conditions applicable to their class of licence. | ||||
