Talk:WARC bands

Colour Codes

When I looked at the first row of coloured boxes at the top of the page, it was frustrating that the colour-code-key was not nearby. I find the key is easy to use for only one or two rows at the bottom of the page that immediately precede the key, but for most the coloured rows above that, it's pretty awkward.

For instance, see the 17 Metre band plan for IARU Region 1. It includes a good bunch of band segments, and it's difficult to retain the interpretation of each colour while scrolling up and down between the chart and the key. You may see either the chart, or you may see the key, but not both at the same time. It would be nicer to be able to see the information for the whole glorious band plan at the same time, instead of just that there are 6 segments.

The colour squares are big, and there's room to put the descriptions inside of them, even if the squares need to be made taller. Repeating the information every time the colour repeats wouldn't be an imposition. I would retain the colours for each mode. Or perhaps someone might have a better idea for a format for providing the information.

Australia, SSB & 30m

I should probably be mentioned that Australia has SSB permitted on 30m and is recommended 10.115 - 10.140. 121.45.129.140 (talk) 12:50, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

IARU band plan status.

The article points out that the ARRL band plans do not have the force of law, which is true. However, the wording suggests that the IARU band plan does carry legal force on US radio operators. That was not my understanding, but I am not a subject matter expert and do not offer an edit. I think some clarifying language and a citation are in order. Surely it is the FCC rules that US operators must follow, with unofficial band plans like those of the ARRl as “good practices”. The only FCC rule I found was non interference with transmissions from other countries, and secondary allocation to certain maritime and aeronautical uses.

I hope this is helpful and more knowledgable editors can clear this up.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ignatios2000 (talk • contribs) 00:12, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
