Oops.
I forgot to mention.
There are no changes to the 75m band.
3702-3716, 3745-3770 and 3791-3805 are still valid.

tnx & 73, Hisami 7L4IOU

Dear friends,

Good news for the Lowbanders who seek Japan.
The law was amended on April 21 2020.
The new 160m and 80m bands in Japan are as follows

( Band whole )
--- 160m ---
1800-1875kHz
1907.5-19125.5kHz
--- 80m ---
3500-3580kHz
3599-3612kHz
3662-3687kHz

( Modes details )
--- 160m ---
1800-1810kHz : All
1810-1825kHz : A1A
1825-1875kHz : All
1907.5-19125.5kHz: A1A, F1B, F1D, G1B, G1D
--- 80m ---
3500-3520kHz : A1A
3520-3535kHz : A1A, F1B, F1D, G1B, G1D
3535-3575kHz : All (Except for JA-JA Digital)
3575-3580kHz : All
3599-3612kHz : All
3662-3687kHz : All

The small break is a still problem, but overall it's an improvement.
In particular, a small RTTY-window was born at 3575-3580kHz.
