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:
Columns are: Channel Center and Amateur Tuning Frequency

5332 kHz 5330.5 kHz
5348 kHz 5346.5 kHz
5358.5 kHz 5357.0 kHz
5373 kHz 5371.5 kHz
5405 kHz 5403.5(common US/UK)
Effective March 5, 2012, amateurs are permitted to use digital modes that 
comply with emission designator 60H0J2B, which includes PSK31 as well as any
RTTY
signal with a bandwidth of less than 60 Hz. They may also use modes that 
comply with emission designator 2K80J2D, which includes any digital mode 
with
a bandwidth of 2.8 kHz or less whose technical characteristics have been 
documented publicly, per Part 97.309(4) of the FCC Rules. Such modes would 
include
PACTOR I, II or III, 300-baud packet, MFSK16, MT63, Contestia, Olivia, 
DominoEX and others. with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 W. 
Radiated
power must not exceed the equivalent of 100 W PEP transmitter output power 
into an antenna with a gain of 0 dBd.

1.25 Meters 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.
Novices are limited to 25 watts PEP output.
