NOTES ON THE 1240-1300 MHz BANDPLAN

1. IARU REGION 1 BANDPLAN

The following notes are part of the IARU Region 1 bandplan for this band, originally adopted during the IARU Region 1 Conference at Noordwijkerhout (1987), and all member societies should strongly promote adherence to the recommendations made in these notes.
 
 1.1. Footnotes

  1. Telegraphy is permitted over the whole narrow-band DX part of the band; Telegraphy exclusive between 1296.000-1296.150 MHz.
  2. Within IARU Region 1 the frequencies for beacons with an ERP of more than 50 Watts are coordinated by the IARU Region 1 Beacon Coordinator. 
  3. In countries where 1298-1300 MHz is not allocated to the Amateur Service (e.g. Italy) the FM simplex segment may also be used for digital communications.
2. USAGE

The following note refers to the Usage column in the bandplan. As already set out in the introduction to section IIc, in the right amateur spirit operators should take notice of these agreements which are made for operating convenience, but no right to reserved frequencies can be derived from a mention in the Usage column.

2.1. General

During contests and band openings local traffic using narrow-band modes should operate between 1296.500-1296.800 MHz.
