Frequency Plan

The following frequency plan is proposed. Constructive comments are welcome, especially if you feel that there will be trouble with a particular frequency to your part of the world.

Band CW Tx (KHz) RTTY Tx (KHz) SSB Tx (KHz)
1.8 1825 (no operation) 1842
3.5 3505 (no operation) 3795 and/or 3802
7.0 7005 7035 7080
10.1 10102 (no operation) (no operation)
14.0 14025 14080 14195
18.0 18075 18105 18145
21.0 21025 21080 21295
24.9 24895 (not defined) 24945
28.0 28025 28080 28495
50.0 50102 (no operation) 50145

Split policy

All operations will be split up, with the exception of 80m SSB where the split may also be down to accommodate both EU and USA requirements. Please do not under any circumstances call on the DXpedition transmit frequency unless the operator clearly indicates that he has reverted to transceive. If this happens at all then it will only be towards the end of the DXpedition when the pile-ups are worked well down.

Splits will be kept to a minimum consistent with the size of the pile-up. On CW it is hoped to contain the pile-up within 5KHz and on SSB within 20kHz.
