A new Band Plan for Region 2 was approved in October 14, 2016 during
the XIX IARU Region 2 General Assembly in Viña del Mar, Chile and is
now published on the IARU Region 2 website in English and Spanish
versions.

The HF/VHF Committees were composed by 15 delegates to discuss 6
documents and annexes covering several proposals sent by ARRL, LABRE,
RAC and informative documents from IARU Region 1 and the IARU
Satellite Advisory Committee.

Brian Mileshosky, N5ZGT (ARRL) was the Chairman and Flávio Archangelo,
PY2ZX (LABRE) was the Secretary of the HF/VHF Committees.

The changes aimed the harmonization with Regions 1 and 3, recognizance
of some band occupations in Region 2 and the contextualization of the
satellite segments to encourage the use of new technologies in space
communications.

The main modifications in resume are:

- Introduction of the 60 m with sub-bands, footnotes and definitions
harmonized with Region 1;

- The inclusion of ACDS in 2200 m, restriction of bandwidth in 630 m,
harmonization of the 160 m and 80 m, especially on digital sub-bands;

-  Recognitions of the calling frequency 144.3 MHz in 2 m and AM
practice in 15 m;

- Editorial changes in the footnotes related to ACDS, additional
footnotes related to AM and editorial changes in some of the
footnotes, modes and bandwidths of satellites sub-bands.

The Band Plan does not have an enforcement power per se but serves as
a guide to the Member Societies. According the IARU Region 2 Band Plan
“it is suggested that Member Societies, in coordination with the
authorities, incorporate it [the Band Plan] in their regulations and
promote widely with their amateur radio communities”.
