IARU Region 2 Seeks HF Band Plan Input - March 1 Deadline


Possible updates to the HF band plan for North and South America will be on the agenda at this year's conference of Region 2 of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), and input is sought on suggested changes … but there is a March 1 deadline. The band plan is voluntary and specific regulations of government agencies such as the FCC take precedence. According to the ARRL, interested hams should study the current bandplan at <http://www.iaru-2.org/band-plan> and e-mail any suggested changes by March 1 to their national association. A list of contact information is at <http://www.iaru-2.org/directory>.
