USA Frequency Chart

Special formatting changes have been made to facilitate brailling and reading via screenreader. These changes have been made by the Courage Center Handiham System.  The date of this file is 11 April 2012 and is the latest information as of that date.  The last revisions made by the FCC took effect on 5 March 2012. 

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.
In this chart, the band is given first, followed by each license class in turn and its associated privileges on that band. License Classes having the same privileges are grouped together.  If a license class is not mentioned for a particular band, it means that the holders of that license class do not have privileges on that band. In some cases a License Class (Novice) is specifically excluded.

60 Meters: Five Specific Channels
The FCC has granted hams secondary access on USB only to five discrete 2.8-kHz-wide channels. Amateurs cannot 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. We will only list the Amateur Tuning Frequencies, not the Channel Centers. 
General, Advanced and Amateur Extra classes:
Amateur Tuning Frequency
5330.5 kHz
5346.5 kHz
5357.0 kHz
5371.5 kHz
5403.5 kHz (common US/UK)
Effective March 5, 2012, amateurs may use USB, CW, PSK31 or PACTOR III *only* 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.

Note: Phone and Image modes are permitted between 7.075 and 7.100 MHz for FCC licensed stations in ITU Regions 1 and 3 and by FCC licensed stations in ITU Region 2 West of 130 degrees West longitude or South of 20 degrees North 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. 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.
