Notes for the LF,MF and HF Bands

Note 1: Digital Data Modes
Ths category includes all data modes using FSK, MFSK, PSK or other digital modulation systems.
Note 2: Other Modes in the SSB Segments
The SSB segments are also used for digital voice modes and image transmission modes such as SSTV or
Fax, using bandwidths up to 4 kHz, or for AM voice. AM is not a recommended mode on the HF bands
because of its bandwidth, but it is fully legal and is used on several bands.
Note 3: Beacons
The beacon segments should be kept clear of all other transmissions.
Note 4: Amateur Satellites
Amateur satellites may operate in the bands 7.0 – 7.1, 14.0 – 14.250, 18.068 – 18.168, 21.0 – 21.45, 24.89 –
24.99 and 28.0 – 29.7 MHz. Current satellites operate between 21.160 – 21.300 and 29.300 – 29.500 MHz.
The 10 metre satellite segment should be kept clear of all other transmissions.

Note 5: FM Simplex
Maximum permitted bandwidth for FM is 16 kHz on 10 metres, and 8 kHz on lower bands. Most multimode
transceivers cannot comply with the 8 kHz bandwidth limit and should not be used in FM mode below 10
metres. Please avoid operation on 29.300 or 29.500 MHz, as this can interfere with satellite downlinks.
Note 6: FM Repeaters
The standard repeater input frequencies are 29.52, 29.54, 29.56 and 29.58 MHz. Some overseas repeaters
operate on 10 kHz spaced channels. Repeater offset is 100 kHz.
