Which band? the Region 1 band plan

The dial turns, a frequency shows: which band? Then, finer, which segment of the band plan, or which exact use. String right answers together: the multiplier climbs. All games

Where are you on the dial?

Choose the level, the range and the mode beside, then go. Keys 1 to 6 to answer, Enter for what comes next.

The band plan

Bands are allocated by the ITU, region by region; within them, the IARU (the union of amateur radio societies) offers a band plan: where telegraphy, digital modes, phone, beacons and satellites sit. It is not the law but good manners: everyone finds their way.

Region 1 Europe, Africa, the Middle East and northern Asia. The edges below are Region 1's, roughly: each country sets its own, and the IARU's detailed plan is the reference.
