| RSGB Band Plan (effective from 1st January 2009) | ||||
| 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. | ||||
| 21 MHz (15m) | Neccesary | UK Usage | ||
| Bandwidth | ||||
| 21,000-21,070 kHz | 200 Hz | Telegraphy | ||
| 21,055 kHz QRS (slow telegraphy) Centre of Activity. | ||||
| 21,060 kHz QRP (low power) Centre of Activity | ||||
| 21,070-21,090 | 500 Hz | Narrow band modes | ||
| 21,090-21,110 | 500 Hz | Narrow band modes - automatically controlled data stations (unattended) | ||
| 21,110-21,120 | 2.7 kHz | All modes (excluding SSB) - automatically controlled data stations (unattended) | ||
| 21,120-21,149 | 500 Hz | Narrow band modes | ||
| 21,149-21,151 | IBP - reserved exclusively for beacons | |||
| 21,151-21,450 | 2.7 kHz | All modes. | ||
| 21,180kHz - digital voice centre of activity | ||||
| 21,285 kHz - QRP Centre of Activity. | ||||
| 21,340 kHz - Image Centre of Activity. | ||||
| 21,360 kHz - Global Emergency Centre of Activity | ||||
| LICENCE NOTES: Amateur and Amateur Satellite Service - Primary 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. | ||||
| 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. | ||||
