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.
