Question: 1 / 545

In which ITU region is operation in the 7.175 to 7.300 MHz band permitted for a General Class license control operator?

Region 1

Region 2

For a General Class license control operator, operation in the 7.175 to 7.300 MHz band is specifically permitted in Region 2, which includes North and South America. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) divides the world into three regions for radio frequency allocations, and each region has different allocations in various frequency bands.

In this context, while Region 1 (primarily Europe, Africa, the Middle East) and Region 3 (Australia and parts of Asia) have their own unique allocations, the 7.175 to 7.300 MHz segment is unique to Region 2 for General Class privileges. Thus, those operating in this band must refer to Region 2's regulations, recognizing that propagation conditions and regulations can differ across the regions.

Consequently, General Class operators in Region 2 are specifically allowed to use this frequency band, which aligns with the operational guidelines outlined by the FCC and ITU.
