A couple of questions were dropped from this section and a question about frequency allocations in the different ITU regions (G1A14) was added.
As you know, on the 80m, 40m, 20m, and 15m bands, some frequencies are reserved for Advanced and Extra Class licensees. On the other bands, however, General Class licensees have exactly the same privileges as Advanced and Extra Class licensees. 160, 60, 30, 17, 12, and 10 meters are the bands that a General Class license holder is granted all amateur frequency privileges. (G1A01)
On 80 meters, General Class operators may only operate SSB above 3.800 MHz, so 3900 kHz is a frequency that is within the General Class portion of the 75 meter phone band.(G1A06) General Class licensees cannot operate CW below 3.525 MHz. That means that 3560 kHz is a frequency that is within the General Class portion of the 80 meter band. (G1A08)
On 40m, General Class operators may only operate SSB from 7.175 to 7.300 MHz. That means 7.250 MHz is a frequency in the General Class portion of the 40 meter band. (G1A05)
On 20m, General Class licensees can only operate phone above 14.225 MHz. So, 14305 kHz is a frequency within the General Class portion of the 20 meter phone band. (G1A07)
On 15m, the General Class portion of the phone band is 21.275 to 21.450 MHz.That means 21300 kHz is a frequency that is within the General Class portion of the 15 meter band. (G1A09)
Can you see a pattern emerging here? When General Class licensees are not permitted to use the entire voice portion of a particular band, the upper frequency end is the portion of the voice segment that is generally available to them. (G1A11)
On 10m, Advanced and Extra Class licensees have no special privileges. So, all these answers are correct when talking about frequencies available to a control operator holding a General Class license (G1A10):
28.020 MHz
28.350 MHz
28.550 MHz
30 meters has some restrictions that you won’t find on other bands. For example, 30 meters is the band on which phone operation is prohibited (G1A02), and 30 meters is the band on which image transmission is prohibited. (G1A03)
60 meters is also kind of an oddball band. 60 meters is the amateur bands that is restricted to communication on only specific channels, rather than frequency ranges. (G1A04) This is the only band where amateur radio operators are restricted to specific frequencies.
On both the 30-meter band and the 60-meter band, amateur radio is a secondary user. When the FCC rules designate the Amateur Service as a secondary user on a band, amateur stations are allowed to use the band only if they do not cause harmful interference to primary users. (G1A12) When operating on either the 30 or 60 meter bands, and a station in the primary service interferes with your contact, the appropriate action is to move to a clear frequency or stop transmitting. (G1A13)
Amateurs in different ITU regions have different frequency privileges. In Region 2, the region in which most of the U.S. is located, operation in the 7.175 to 7.300 MHz band permitted for a control operator holding an FCC issued General Class license. (G1A14) In ITU Region 1, the region that encompasses most of Europe, amateurs are only allowed to operate up to 7.200 MHz.
