Via the ARRL: IARU Region 2 Releases 2020 Revision of its Band Plan

Social:

International Amateur Radio Union Region 2 (IARU R2) — the Americas — has released the September 2020 revision of its Band Plan and made procedural changes to shorten the time to reflect future adjustments. The Band Plan includes a change approved at the October 2019 General Assembly to add an Amateur Satellite uplink subband, 21.125 to 21.450 MHz, on a non-exclusive basis. This matches similar changes in the Region 1 and Region 3 band plans.

A number of administrative changes have been made to the text, although the Band Plan itself has not been modified. These changes include:

• Modifications to the wording of the Band Plan to ensure that national regulators understand it is a voluntary document, and that countries may depart from the plan based on national requirements.
• Definitions additions: Amateur Radio Direction Finding (ARDF), primary service, secondary service, and several acronyms.
• Inclusion of information detailing the primary and secondary users in each amateur radio allocation band.
• Correction of minor typographical errors.
