NOTE 1: Beacons
Beacon Channels are allocated on a state/frequency basis - eg 432.410-432.419 is allocated to VK1, 432.420-432.429 VK2 etc. The beacons are channeled in 2KHz increments.

NOTE 2:Narrowband & Weak Signal Segment
The segment 431.950-433.000MHz should NOT be used by wideband FM voice and packet modes. This segment is allocated to weak signal, narrow band SSB, CW and FSK modes. Terrestrial operation should not be conducted in the International EME segment.

NOTE 3: Exclusive Simplex Channels
The following simplex channels are available for general use on the 70m band. 

433.750   438.750           439.000 (Call Channel)
433.775   438.775           439.025
433.800   438.800 (WICEN)   439.100
433.825   438.825           439.125
433.850   438.850 (ARDF)    439.150
433.875   438.875           439.175
433.900   438.900
433.925   438.925 
433.950   438.950
433.975   438.975
Be aware that 439.000 is the national call channel. Contact should be established on this channel and then the operators should QSY. Where a repeater pair is not in use in the local area, it too is then available for simplex working, but users should be aware of DX conditions that may trigger distant repeaters.

NOTE 4: Exclusive Packet Simplex Channels
The following channels have been allocated to packet radio modes with bandwidths less than 16KHz.

434.050  439.050
434.075  439.075
434.100  439.200
434.125  439.225

434.175
434.200
434.225

NOTE 5:Repeater Channels
Repeater Channel spacing is 25 KHz and repeater offset is -5MHz.
The following repeater channels are allocated:
