30m around the world (was Re: [Dx-qsl] Question)

Commenting on the two places outside the USA where I have visited
and used my radio gear...

Mexico doesn't have the limits on 30m like the USA has.  It is
open for all authorized modes (CW, AM, FM, SSB, data) for those
holding the class I and II licenses, although many (most?) down
there working that band use CW or the digital modes.  I have
copies of the current Mexican regulations (in Spanish) in several
PDF files, an HTML page with an English-language summary, plus a
link to the Mexican government web site where these documents
normally reside at:

Canada's regulations limit signals on the 30m band to 1 kHz
bandwidth, without indicating which modes are permitted.  This
is typical for the rules up there, where the limitations are
on the bandwidth of the signals in each band and band plans
are not specified in the regulations - unlike in FCC Part 97.
More information on this is available at:

(look for RIC-2 near the middle of the page, and take that link
to get to the PDF file with the information regarding bands and
authorized bandwidth for each band)
