The WIA review of the current 40m band plan is proceeding on schedule.
Users should note that SSB operation below 7100 kHz will not be affected by the new band plan. No nets will have to shift frequency.There have been a number of responses to the review, including a very well considered input from digital mode operators.
One early idea was to expand the current digital segment upwards by 10 kHz to 7050, however, that plan has been shelved because of the potential to interfere with European SSB DX.A wide band digital modes segment is being considered for the area around 7180, with a specific sub-band for unattended WINLINK type systems. The challenge is to position this segment to align with the US band plan, which is also under review.
And, of course, there is still an intention to create newcomer nets for Foundation Licensees above 7200 kHz.
More information as it comes to hand.
