I knew I wasn't see things and appearantly, Bob wasn't either. Upon further review, there are two bandplans posted out there, the one I saw: http://www.iaru-regionii.org/Region_2_MF__HF_Bandplan_Annex__1_2008.pdf and the one that Bob saw: http://www.iaru-r2.org/wp-content/uploads/region-2-mf-hf-bandplan-e.pdf . Now which is the correct one? With 40M a toss up for the time being, they still don't prefer AM except in designated spaces. Now I think it was Pete, that said about making comparisons from the last time. The one disclaimer sticks out from that one versus the one recently posted is this:
These bandplans are voluntary and as such cannot legally be enforced, except in some countries in which the bandplans are written into the national regulations. The vast majority of amateurs in all countries do conform to the IARU bandplans and it is in our own interest that it should continue to be this way. The plans are prepared in a democratic way with input from any country's member society. The plans are discussed, modified and voted upon at IARU Regional General Assemblies with each country (large or small) having only one vote. If an individual or group is not satisfied with the bandplans as they are and has a suggestion for improvement then he should submit it, with as much documentation as possible, to his IARU member society.
