Notes:
"B" means an Amateur Operators Certificate with Basic Qualification
"5" means an Amateur Operators Certificate with Morse Code (5 w.p.m.) Qualification
Radio Amateurs are secondary users in the bands marked with asterisks **, and may not cause interference to primary users.
United States Band Plan
The frequency allocations for United States hams in ITU Region 2 are:
* Medium Frequency (MF) (300 kHz to 3 MHz)
o 160 meters (1.8 - 2.0 MHz)
* High Frequency (HF) (3.0 - 30.0 MHz)
o 80 meters (3.5 - 4.0 MHz)
o 60 meters (five USB voice channels: 5.332, 5.348, 5.368, 5.373, 5.405 MHz)
o 40 meters (7.0 - 7.3 MHz)
o 30 meters (10.100 - 10.150 MHz)
o 20 meters (14.000 - 14.350 MHz)
o 17 meters (18.068 - 18.168 MHz)
o 15 meters (21.000 - 21.450 MHz)
o 12 meters (24.890 - 24.990 MHz)
o 10 meters (28.0 - 29.7 MHz)
* Very High Frequency (VHF) (30 to 300 MHz)
o 6 meters (50 - 54 MHz)
o 2 meters (144 - 148 MHz)
o 1.25 meters (219 - 220, 222 - 225 MHz)
* Ultra High Frequency (UHF) (300 MHz to 3 GHz)
o 70 centimeters (420 - 450 MHz)
o 33 centimeters (902 - 928 MHz)
o 23 centimeters (1.24 - 1.3 GHz)
o 13 centimeters (2.30 - 2.31 GHz and 2.39 - 2.45 GHz)
* Super High Frequency (SHF) (3 to 30 GHz)
o 9 centimeters (3.3 - 3.5 GHz)
o 5 centimeters (5.65 - 5.925 GHz)
o 3 centimeters (10.0 - 10.5 GHz)
o 1.2 centimeters (24.00 - 24.25 GHz)
* Extremely High Frequency (EHF) (30 to 300 GHz)
o 6 millimeters (47.0 - 47.2 GHz)
o 4 millimeters (75.5 - 81.0 GHz)
o 2.5 millimeters (119.98 - 120.02 GHz)
o 2 millimeters (142 - 149 GHz)
o 1 millimeter (241 - 250 GHz)
The ARRL has a detailed band plan for US hams showing allocations within each band.
RAC has a chart showing the frequencies available to amateurs in Canada.
