Band Plan
Where to call on any UK band. Pick a band, tune the cursor, and see what's around you — 129 calling frequencies and centres of activity marked on the spectrum.
The band plan is advisory. Your licence is not. Operating outside the band plan is bad practice; outside your licence conditions it's illegal.
sources and caveats
Segment structure follows the RSGB Band Plan, which is based on IARU Region 1 recommendations. Power limits come from the Ofcom licence schedule. Last checked 09 September 2026.
Advisory and binding are kept separate on this page for a reason. Always check the current RSGB plan and your own licence schedule before transmitting — this page is a convenience, not an authority.

Drag across the spectrum to tune. Arrow keys step, shift for bigger jumps, and the cursor snaps to calling frequencies as it passes them.

where people call
Official centres of activity are designated in the band plan. Unofficial entries are software defaults or community habit — real activity, no formal standing.
