Text only Amateur Radio Frequency Chart, adapted for blind use from the ARRL 
US Amateur Radio Bands chart effective May 6, 2008. This chart has been

For each band, only those license classes with privileges on that band are 
listed. Technician licensees have limited privileges below 30 MHz.
US Amateur Transmitter Power Limits
At all times, transmitter power must be the minimum necessary to carry out 
the desired communications. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum power output 
is 1500 watts PEP. Novice/Technicians are limited to 200 watts PEP on HF 
bands. Geographical power restrictions apply to the 70 cm, 33 cm and 23 cm 
bands; see The FCC Rule Book for details.

60 Meters: Five Specific Channels:
The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete 
2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs can not cause interference to and must 
accept  interference from the Primary Government users. The NTIA says that 
hams planning to operate on 60 meters "must assure that their signal is 
transmitted on  the channel center frequency." This means that amateurs 
should set their carrier frequency 1.5 kHz lower than the channel center 
frequency.
General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:
In each pair of frequencies listed below, you will first  find the Channel 
Center frequency, then the Amateur Tuning frequency, which is the one you 
actually tune your dial to in USB mode.

Note:  There was a change to one of these channels effective in March of 
2012, however, I am not sure of the change.
5332 kHz & 5330.5 kHz
5348 kHz & 5346.5 kHz
5368 kHz & 5366.5 kHz
5373 kHz & 5371.5 kHz
5405 kHz (common US/UK) & 5403.5 kHz
Amateurs may use USB *only* with a maximum effective radiated power
(ERP) of 50 W. Radiated power must not exceed the equivalent of 50 W PEP 
transmitter  output power into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd.

Note: Phone and Image modes are permitted between 7.075 and 7.100 MHz for 
FCC licensed stations in ITU Regions 1 and 3 and by FCC licensed stations in 
ITU  Region 2 West of 130 degrees West longitude or South of
20 degrees North latitude. See Sections 97.305(c) and 97.307(f)(11).
Novice and Technician  licensees outside ITU Region 2 may use CW only 
between 7.025 and 7.075 MHz and between 7.100 and 7.125 MHz. 7.200 to
7.300 MHz is not available outside  ITU Region 2. See Section 97.301(e).
These exemptions do not apply to stations in the continental US.

The FCC has allocated 219-220 MHz to amateur use on a secondary basis.
This allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding systems 
operated by  all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must not cause 
interference to, and must accept interference from, primary services in this 
and adjacent  bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50 W PEP output and 100 
kHz bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations 
are the  primary occupants in this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles 
of an AMTS station must notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior 
to  beginning operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS 
station must get permission in writing from the AMTS station before 
beginning operations. ARRL Headquarters maintains a database of AMTS 
stations. The FCC requires that amateur operators provide written 
notification including the  station's geographic location to the ARRL for 
inclusion in a database at least 30 days before beginning operations. See 
Section
97.303(e) of the FCC  Rules.

    2300-2310 MHz
    2390-2450 MHz
    3300-3500 MHz
    5650-5925 MHz
    10.0-10.5 GHz

    All above 300 GHz

* Amateur operation at 76-77 GHz has been suspended till the FCC can 
determine that interference will not be caused to vehicle radar systems

If this is dificult to read, I apologize as I tryed to compress this so it 
would fit in the body of this e-mail.
