NOTES ON THE 50-52 MHz BANDPLAN
IARU REGION I BANDPLANThis bandplan, first adopted at the IARU Region 1
Conference in Torremolinos (1990) and revised at the 1996 Tel Aviv conference,
is recommended for use in those countries in the European part of Region 1 which
allow amateurs to operate in this part of the radio spectrum. In many countries
in the African part of Region 1 (see footnotes accompanying the ITU frequency
allocation table) the 50-54 MHz band is allocated to the Amateur Service on a
primary basis, and in some cases, like for instance in South Africa, an
adaptation of the Region 2 bandplan is used.
Footnotes
- Telegraphy is permitted over the whole band; Telegraphy exclusive between
50.000-50.100 MHz.
- The designation "Narrow Band" refers to transmission modes occupying a
bandwidth of not more than 6 kHz (De Haan, 1993).
The intercontinental
DX calling frequency 50.110 MHz should not be used for calling within the
European part of Region 1 at any time.
