Although the nature of packet radio is forgiving while accommodating multiple users in a trio of services on a single frequency, allowing a total free-for-all mixture of BBSes, DXClusters, and CONVerse node traffic has turned into a nightmare for many system operator's. This travesty was unforeseen when Packet radio began. It has now become our burden to bring reason to the chaos and improve the effeciency of our networks. Therefore the South Eastern Digital Frequency Coordinating Committee wishes to offer the following bandplan in an effort to develop a method to the madness that was created when Packet began.

We began the formulation of this bandplan in July of 1988 and since that date much thought and input from many regions has gone into the building of this Packet Radio bandplan. Please join with us in our efforts as we forge the future of our digital hobby. This effort is long past due, without losing sight of reality, please help by coordinating your nodes along with their purpose and location into our database.

If you have modifications, additions, or changes to this bandplan, please submit them so they may be considered at the next meeting of the SEDFCC.

Thank you for your help

This allocation is only for fixed digital message forwarding systems operated by all licensees except Novices. Amateur operations must not cause interference to, and must accept interference from, primary services in this and adjacent bands. Amateur stations are limited to 50 W PEP output and 100 kHz bandwidth. Automated Maritime Telecommunications Systems (AMTS) stations are the primary occupants in this band. Amateur stations within 398 miles of an AMTS station must notify the station in writing at least 30 days prior to beginning operations. Amateur stations within 50 miles of an AMTS station must get permission in writing from the AMTS station before beginning operations. ARRL Headquarters maintains a database of AMTS stations. The FCC requires that amateur operators provide written notification including the station's geographic location to the ARRL for inclusion in a database at least 30 days before beginning operations.
