What is a band plan, beyond the privileges established by the FCC?

Answer: A. A voluntary guideline for using different modes or activities within an amateur band

A band plan is a voluntary guideline that suggests where different modes and activities should happen within a band. It goes beyond the FCC's legal limits and helps operators avoid stepping on each other. It is agreed on by the amateur community, not set by a single club.

Tip: FCC rules are the law; band plans are the good-neighbor agreement.
