A Yaesu FT-857D tuned to 50.125 MHz, the traditional 6-meter single-sideband calling frequency in the United States. [1]The 6-meter band is the lowest portion of the very high frequency (VHF) radio spectrum (50.000-54.000 MHz) internationally allocated to amateur radio use.
The World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC) bands are three portions of the shortwave radio spectrum used by licensed and/or certified amateur radio operators. They consist of 30 meters (10.1–10.15 MHz), 17 meters (18.068–18.168 MHz), and 12 meters (24.89–24.99 MHz).
The idea to give each band a number, in which the number is the logarithm of the approximate geometric mean of the upper and lower band limits in Hz, originated with B. C. Fleming-Williams, who suggested it in a letter to the editor of Wireless Engineer in 1942. For example, the approximate geometric mean of band 7 is 10 MHz, or 10 7 Hz. [14]
The nominal "17 m" band actually covers 16.6–16.5 m. The nominal "15 m" band actually ranges from 14.28–13.98 m. By common sense, the "15 m" band ought to be called "14 m", but that name has been in longtime use for a shortwave broadcast band. 80 metres or 80 / 75 meters – 3 500–4 000 kHz – 85.65–74.95 m actual
The FM broadcast band originally operated here (42–50 MHz) before it was moved to 88–108 MHz. 50–54 MHz: Amateur radio 6-meter band. 50.8–51 MHz: Radio-controlled aircraft (on ten fixed frequencies at 20 kHz spacing) with an FCC amateur radio Service license, flown under FCC Part 97, rule 97.215.

The 4-meter band (70–70.5 MHz) amateur radio allocation used in many European countries is entirely within the OIRT FM band. Operators on this band and the 6-meter band (50–54 MHz) use the presence of broadcast stations as an indication that there is an "opening" into Eastern Europe or Russia. This can be a mixed blessing because the 4 ...
The 6-millimeter or 47 GHz band is a portion of the EHF radio spectrum internationally allocated to amateur radio and amateur satellite use between 47.0 GHz and 47.2 GHz. [ 1 ] Due to the lack of commercial off the shelf radios, amateurs who operate on the 6 mm band must design and construct their own equipment. [ 2 ]
