![]() Strangely the regional stuff seems to disappear as the band goes "long". It has regional coverage during the day out to 700-1000 miles or so and at night you can cover the world. The 40 meter band is a good place to start. Now, having reviewed the possible allocations, have you come to the conclusion that getting the Amateur Extra would have been a great idea? May be soon you'll get the upgrade but first things first. There are still some rouge nations that pop into the amateur only allocations but they are getting to be fewer. Even the Technician and old Novice class operators are allowed operations from 7025KHz to 7125KHz on CW only with a maximum power output of 200 watts.Īre you confused yet? Bet you'll find the 40 meter band to be a lot of fun. ![]() With the exception of the lower 25KHz of the 40 meter band this is the only portion of 40 meters not allocated to General class operators. We now have a broadcast free area from 7125-7200KHz for phone and image operations with 7125-7175KHz allocated for Advanced class and Amateur Extra operators only. So, it's much better now then it has been in the past. Use to be the amateur bands in Regions 1 and 3 were allowed only 7000-7100KHz and international broadcast was allowed 7100-7350KHz internationally. So yes this is allowed by international agreement. In ITU Region 2 (that's us) the section from 7200-7300KHz allows amateur radio service as a secondary non-interference basis. All the time !! The worldwide amateur 40 meter allocation is now 7000-7200KHz with 7200-7450 allocated to international broadcast services as primary. ![]()
