   ARLB014 ARRL Board of Directors Approves 9 cm Band Plan   
      
   The ARRL Board of Directors has unanimously voted to approve the 9   
   cm band plan, as presented by the ARRL UHF/Microwave Band Plan   
   Committee. Earlier this year, the committee asked radio amateurs for   
   comments on a proposed 9 cm band plan, explaining that the purpose   
   of these band plans is to share information about how the amateur   
   bands are being used and to suggest compatible frequency ranges for   
   various types of application. The committee also recognized that   
   local conditions or needs may necessitate deviations from a band   
   plan, and that regional frequency coordinating bodies may recommend   
   alternatives for use in their respective regions.   
      
   The new 9 cm band plan includes the following notations:   
      
   * This band plan includes all other emission modes authorized in the   
   9 cm amateur band whose necessary bandwidth does not exceed the   
   suggested bandwidths listed.   
      
   * Weak Signal Terrestrial legacy users are encouraged to move to   
   3400.3-3401.0 MHz, as time and resources permit.   
      
   * Broadband segments may be used for any combination of high-speed   
   data (e.g. 802.11 protocols), Amateur Television and other   
   high-bandwidth activities. Division into channels and/or separation   
   of uses within these segments may be done regionally, based on need   
   and usage.   
      
   * Per ITU RR 5.149 from WRC-07, these band segments are also used   
   for Radio Astronomy.  Amateur use of these frequencies should be   
   first coordinated with the National Science Foundation.
