Here is QST about JA band plan to be expand.

 

On March 11th Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications replied for
public comments about expanding bandwidth 160m and 80m.

Current JA's band plan about 160m

1810-1825 CW

1907.5-1912.5 CW and DATA

Additionally

1800-1810 All Mode

1825-1875 All Mode

Yes, All mode means not only data, phone as well. No need big split QSO with
FT8 anymore.

The starting date didn't announce yet but I guess before CQWW this year.

Please prepare the first SSB QSO with JA and me.

 

73 and take care.
