   ARLB012 ARRL HF Band Planning Committee Seeks Suggestions on IARU Region 2 HF   
   Band Plan   
      
   The ARRL Board of Directors' HF Band Planning Committee is inviting input from   
   the US Amateur Radio community regarding possible changes to the International   
   Amateur Radio Union (IARU) Region 2 Band Plan. The band plan can be found on   
   the web at, http://www.iaru-r2.org/band-plan/ .   
      
   That band plan and other significant Amateur Radio spectrum issues will be   
   high on the agenda at this fall's IARU Region 2 General Assembly in Chile.   
   Leading up to that gathering, the ARRL and other IARU member societies in the   
   Americas will be seeking comments and suggestions regarding the Region 2 HF   
   Band Plan. The HF Band Planning Committee will review the current plan,   
   consider comments from the US Amateur Radio community, and recommend any   
   changes to the ARRL Board for submission to IARU Region 2.   
      
   "The ARRL HF Band Planning Committee wants to stress that the IARU Region 2   
   Band Plan is a voluntary guideline and does not supersede FCC regulations   
   related to spectrum usage," Committee Chairman and ARRL Second Vice President   
   Brian Mileshosky, N5ZGT, noted. He also pointed out two other issues for radio   
   amateurs to consider.   
      
   * Most Region 2 countries outside the US do not have the sort of detailed   
   sub-band regulations contained in the FCC's Part 97. For radio amateurs in   
   these countries, the Region 2 Band Plan may serve as the only source of   
   guidance on spectrum usage.   
      
   * The designation of a calling frequency or band segment for a particular   
   purpose or mode in any IARU band plan does not convey any special rights or   
   exclusivity of use. On the other hand the absence of a calling frequency or   
   band segment associated with a particular purpose or mode should not suggest   
   that these have been overlooked or are viewed negatively.   
      
   The Committee is urging US radio amateurs who are considering suggesting   
   revisions to the IARU Region 2 Band Plan first to study the existing IARU   
   Region 2 Band Plan. They then should formulate a   
   clear statement of any proposed changes, including a brief explanation of why   
   each particular change would benefit all IARU Region 2 spectrum users.   
   Participants should include name and call sign. Submit input via e-mail by   
   June 1, 2016 to, bandplan2016@arrl.org . Messages will be automatically   
   acknowledged.   
      
   Radio amateurs licensed in Region 2 countries other than the US should contact   
   their own IARU member society for information on how to participate in the   
   band-planning process.  A list of societies can be found on the web at,   
   http://www.iaru-r2.org/directory/ .   
      
   The 19th IARU Region 2 General Assembly will take place in mid-October in Vina   
   del Mar, Chile. Held every 3 years, the Region 2 Conference is attended by   
   delegations from IARU member societies in   
   throughout the Americas.
