#Band Plan

A band plan describes which parts of an amateur band are used for which modes and how stations usually share the frequencies. In contests the plan is shaped by habit as much as by regulation, and the same sub-band can be crowded on one day and empty on another. Articles under this tag describe common habits for CW and phone in general terms. They remind the reader that national rules and band plans change, so the current documents must always be checked. The goal is to place runs and search-and-pounce time sensibly.
