Oregon Band Plans

OREGON AMATEUR RADIO BAND PLANS

 


NOTE: The following sections are meant to be a guide for operating various
different modes by band. Band plans found in publications such as the ARRL Repeater Directory
are for general information only. The local option band plan, if one exists, is the proper one
to use. For operating in Oregon, x has carefully weighed the pros and cons of each band segment
not strictly governed for a specific mode (except repeater and auxilliary operation) by the FCC.

52.53 to replace 52.525 as the National Simplex Calling Frequency in 1997 
Note #2
Certain traditional uses, such as Packet DX Cluster Nodes, APRS and
ARES related FM Voice Simplex may utilize portions of this spectrum. Please
listen dutifully before operating within this segment in order to minimize
interference to existing users.
Note #3
A new bandplan is under development reflecting the need to protect AVM
(non-Amateur) systems at 904-912 and 918-926.






CROSS-BAND REPEATER / DUPLEX RADIO POLICY
In order to minimize interference to coordinated systems and inappropriate
use of recognized simplex channels, x has established the following guidelines
as policy for use of cross-band repeaters, cross-band repeaters and duplex
radios should: 
 
Never be used to link and established repeater system or link two repeaters
without the express approval of the repeater owner(s). 
 
Be used for temporary, short duration activities only and never installed as
a long term communications facility. 
 
Utilize the minimum power necessary to accomplish the desired communications.
A transmitter placed in the vicinity of other transmitters should emply the use
of  Circulators/Isolators and or Band Pass Filtering as necessary to reduce the
likelyhood of Intermod. 
 
Utilize CTCSS (PL) encode and decode facilities to minimize unnecessary
frequency congestion.  
 
Be identified every 10 minutes per FCC rules. 
 
Be disabled by the operator within 15 minutes of notification of interference
or other problem. 
 
Should be continually monitored by the operator to help minimize interference.
