5.67A Stations
in the amateur service using frequencies
in the band 135.7-137.8 kHz shall not exceed
a maximum radiated power of 1 W (e.i.r.p.)
and shall not cause harmful interference
to stations of the radionavigation service
operating in countries listed in No. 5.67.

5.67B The
use of the band 135.7-137.8 kHz in Algeria,
Egypt, Iran (Islamic Republic of), Iraq,
Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Lebanon, Syrian
Arab Republic, Sudan and Tunisia is limited
to the fixed and maritime mobile services.
The amateur service shall not be used in
the above-mentioned countries in the band
135.7-137.8 kHz, and this should be taken
into account by the countries authorising
such use. (WRC-07)(Cavtat 2008) |

Amateurs in countries that have a SSB

may continue to use it, but the National
Societies in those countries are requested
totake all necessary steps with their licence
administrations to adjust the phone allocations
in accordance with the Region 1 Bandplan.

| Intercontinental
operations should be given priority in the

|
| Where
no DX traffic is involved, the contest segments
should not include 3500-3510 kHz or 3775-3800
kHz. Member societies will be permitted
to set other (lower) limits for national
contests (within these limits). |
| 3510-3600
kHz may be used for unmanned ARDF beacons
(CW ) (Davos 2005) |
| Member
societies should approach their national
telecommunication authorities and ask them
not to allocate frequencies to other than
amateur stations in the band segment that
IARU has assigned to intercontinental long
distance traffic. |

| Member
societies should advise operators not to
transmit on frequencies between 29.3 and
29.51 MHz to avoid interference to amateur
satellite downlinks. |
| Preferred
NBFM operating frequencies on each 10 kHz
from 29.210 to 29.290 MHz inclusive should
be used. |
| A
deviation of ±2.5 kHz being used with 2.5
kHz as maximum modulation frequency. |
| DEFINITIONS |
| All
modes CW,
SSB and those modes listed as Centres of
Activity, plus AM (Consideration should
be given to adjacent channel users). |
| Image
modes Any
analogue or digital image modes within the
appropriate bandwidth, for example SSTV
and FAX. |
| Narrow
band modes All
modes using up to 500 Hz bandwidth, including
CW, RTTY, PSK etc |
| Digimodes
Any
digital mode used within the appropriate
bandwidth, for example RTTY, PSK, MT63 etc.
|
| (*)
Lowest
dial setting for LSB Voice mode: 1843, 3603

| NOTES |
| Amplitude
modulation (AM) may be used in the telephony
sub-bands providing consideration is given
to adjacent channel users. (NRRL Davos 05).
|
| CW
QSOs are accepted across all bands, except
within beacon segments. (Recommendation
DV05_C4_Rec_13) |
| Contest
activity shall not take place on the 10,
18 and 24 MHz bands |
| Non-contesting
radio amateurs are recommended to use the
contest-free HF bands (30, 17 and 12m) during
the largest international contests. (DV05_C4_Rev_07)
|
| The
term “automatically controlled data stations”
includes Store and Forward stations. |
| The
frequencies in the bandplan are understood
as “transmitted frequencies” (not those
of the suppressed carrier!) |
| Unmanned
transmitting stations: |
| |
| IARU
member societies are requested to limit
this activity on the HF bands. It is recommended
that any unmanned transmitting stations
on HF shall only be activated under operator
control except for beacons agreed with the
IARU Region 1 beacon coordinator, or specially
licensed experimental stations. |
| Sideband
Usage Below
10MHz use lower sideband (LSB), above 10
MHz use upper sideband (USB) |
