Matthew and all:
Here is an updated listing of amateur radio ffrequency privileges and
allocations by license class as of May, 2014.
As you'll see, this comes from the ARRL web site.
Just thought I'd pass it along.

Refer to ARRL's The FCC Rule Book for more detailed information on frequency
allocations for the Amateur Radio Service and sharing arrangements with
other radio services. Band plans can be found in

Manual.
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 inference 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:
Channel Center
Amateur Tuning Frequency
5332 kHz
5330.5 kHz
5348 kHz
5346.5 kHz
5358.5 kHz

5373 kHz
5371.5 kHz
5405 kHz (common US/UK)
5403.5 kHz
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.

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. 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.
