PSK31 Frequencies for QSO

Posted on May 1, 2006May 1, 2006 by Simone

The plan for PSK31 activity has always been (since PSK31 started) to concentrate activity starting from the bottom edge of the IARU RTTY bandplan, expanding upwards as activity increased. The exception is in the 10mts band in order to give non full privileges ham to meet. It was defined as 150 Hz above it. Keep in mind that all you need is about 100 Hz as channel separation.

These recommended frequencies are in accordance with the IARU bandplan for region 1. There may be differences for regions 2 and 3
1838.150
3580.150
7035.15 for region 1 and region 3, and 7080.15 for region 2 ***
10142.150
14070.150
18100.150
21080.150 (although most activity can be found 10 kHz lower)
24920.150
28120.150
*** This is due to the fact that the 7 MHz band is much wider in region 2 (the Americas), and the IARU bandplan reflects this.

    Simone:

    I didn’t see a way to contact you via email.

    I have a website dedicated to studying the relationships of space weather to HF propagation. PSK may be a way to cheat low solar irradiation’s hold on HF skip.

    I am having a difficult time gathering band plans in the three IARU regions for PSK. I would like your permission to post your list of PSK frequencies for Region One on my website. Of course I will credit you as the source. Any other band plan data you might have for PSK would be welcomed – even your views for PSK frequencies in Region Two.

    Most everyone in Region Two agrees on 14070 MHz for PSK on 20-meters. Other than the 20-meter band, agreement falls a part.

    7000 – 7025 200 CW, contest preferred
    7025 – 7040 200 CW, 7030 kHz – QRP Centre of Activity
    7040 – 7047 500 Narrow band modes – digimodes
    7047 – 7050 500 Narrow band modes – digimodes, automatically controlled data stations (unattended)
    7050 – 7053 2700 All modes – digimodes, automatically controlled data stations (unattended) (*)
    7053 – 7060 2700 All modes – digimodes

    Ur PSK frequencies is in wrong bandsegment for region 1 Sir.

    Have a look at http://www.iaru-r1.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=175&Itemid=127

    What is the new choice for region 1 ?
