PURPOSE OF THE IARU BAND PLANS

Band plans are voluntary guidelines developed through representative mechanisms. Regional band plans were first
developed, and are periodically reviewed, by the regional organizations of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).
The IARU Administrative Council serves as a coordinator of regional policies, and seeks worldwide agreement whenever possible.
However, because each region is autonomous, subtle differences in the regional band plans exist which cannot easily be explained in a simple chart.
This band plan comparagraph attempts to summarize the band plans of the three IARU regions and should not be assumed to be definite.
Any questions regarding details of a specific regional band plan should please be addressed to the Secretariat of the IARU region concerned
