[SEDXC] Fwd: Re: ARRL band plan 80M DX window

[Jim n4uoz]

Hi

I read the article on 80M DX window in SEDXC August Bulletin.
and agreed.  So I sent an e-mail to the three that was suggested
in the article and I added K5MC  MICKEY COX, Delta Division Director,
since I also belong, the 599 DX Association. A DX group in Mississippi.

Below is the reply from  Bruce Frahm K0BJ ARRL HF Band Plan committee 
chair
And a copy of email I sent.

Hello Jim,
Thank you for writing in support of expanding the 80M Bandplan SSB DX 
window. Yours is the second such comment I've received recently.
In and of itself there is no compelling need to align ARRL's bandplan 
with that of Region 2 or the other regions.  However your point about 
the additional phone space on 75M is a good one. I'm not aware that 
the committee has visited this particular issue subsequent to the 
phone band expansion. I am forwarding your comments to the HF Band 
Planning committee.
Thank you for your interest.

    ARRL currant band plan for the 80
    meter phone DX window is only 10KHz 3790-3800 .


    The IARU band plan for intercontinental DX
    in region 1, 2 and 3 is 3775 KHz to 3800 KHz.
    The US/ARRL needs to align its band plan to
    match the rest of the world and to take into
    consideration all of the additional space now
    allocated to 80 meter SSB and to expand the
    80 phone DX window to be 3775 - 3800.
    Here is the link to the IARU band plan.
