Legal US Frequencies, Oct 2002

Here is a quick list of legal frequencies here in the United States:
Licensed Amateur (HAM) Frequencies

You will quickly notice there is a relationship between frequency and length of the wave.
One way to express this is Meter= 300/MHz

HF BAND (High Frequency)
HF BAND	LOW END OF BAND	HIGH END OF BAND
160 meters	01.800 MHz	02.000 MHz
* 80 meters	03.500 MHz	04.000 MHz
* 60 meters	05.332 MHz	Center of Ch 1
* 60 meters	05.348 MHz	Center of Ch 2
* 60 meters	05.368 MHz	Center of Ch 3

* bands I have equipment and antennas to receive and transmit
**microwave oven frequency
***76-77 GHz is suspended per 97.303 (r)
60 Meters. 50 watts max. and it is suggested you transmit 1.5 Khz below stated frequency on USB.
I want to thank John Hennessee, N1KB, from the ARRL for his help on the microwave bands
