The deadline for ARRL members to comment on possible changes to the League’s HF Band Plans, suggested by the HF Band Planning Committee, is April 19. The survey is part of the committee’s efforts to adjust the band plans for the RTTY/data/CW portions of 80 through 10 meters — excepting 60 meters.

The committee developed its suggested revisions to the voluntary band plans after reviewing some 400 member comments in response to a March 2014 solicitation that sought suggestions for using the spectrum more efficiently so that data modes may coexist compatibly.

A web page is available to record members’ preferences and comments. Those wishing to offer more detailed comments may e-mail ARRL. The HF Band Planning Committee will deliver its final report at the ARRL Board of Directors’ July meeting.
