[Fists] SSB below 7100?

Fri, 1 Feb 2002 21:55:02 +1200

Dear Will,

The ZL band plan provides for CW from 7.000 - 7.300 MHz  Data etc 7.030 -
7.040 MHz.
All modes are permitted above 7.040 MHz.  Above 7.100 is
shared with broadcasting.

The only other band plan that I am familiar with is the JA plan that
provides for CW 7.000 - 7.100 MHz.  Data etc 7.025 - 7.040 MHz and all modes
7.030 - 7.100 MHz.  Rigs bought in JA are hard wired for these limits!

The world does exist outside North America!
